IT-Olympics
The capstone event for students who participate in IT-Adventures is a two-day competition, named the IT-Olympics, held on the ISU campus. It features high school students showcasing their IT talents and knowledge in competitions and presentations. IT-Olympics is also a celebration of IT, and is open to the public.
Teams from across the state compete in three different venues: cyber defense, game design and robotics. These correspond to the educational materials and challenges which they have worked on throughout the academic year.
Additionally, the teams present their IT-related community service project. They are scored on their multimedia presentation, as well as oral description of the project. The score they receive is calculated into their overall team scores for the awards ceremony.
Each team's multimedia presentation is on display during the two-day event for all attendees and guests to view.
Additional information about the three venues for the 2010 IT-Olympics, and details about each, is provided:
