Teams from IT-Clubs across the state will compete in three different venues in which they have received instructional materials. Prior to participating in their venue on-site in Ames in April, the teams must complete a community service project related to IT and submit a poster for competition describing their project. They will also do an oral presentation on the project. The posters will be on display during the two-day event for all attendees and guests to view. Both the poster and the presentation will be calculated into their overall team scores for the awards ceremony.

The three venues included in the 2009 IT-Olympics and details about each venue are listed below:
