I am the faculty contact for this contest. No experience necessary. You can win SWAG as well as other prizes. Registration opens on September 23rd for the 2014 IBM Master the Mainframe Contest, with over $35,000 in prizes up for grabs! The major focus of the contest is to introduce students to an area of the computer field that they may not have had much experience with, and which is currently in a long-term hiring phase. If you think your students might be interested in checking it out (IBM designed the contest to be NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY), please forward this announcement to them. Contest homepage: www-03.ibm/systems/z/education/academic/masterthemainframe/index.html Students can find the US & Canada Contest Page on September 23rd, and access the simple registration form, and theyll find a lively community on our official contest Facebook page. The contest begins on Monday, October 6 at noon EST, and allows students to log into a mainframe system from their home computers or computer labs to complete increasingly difficult technical challenges for bigger and bigger prizes (T-shirts, IBM swag prize packs, Google Nexus tablets, and trips). If you have any questions about the contest, you can reach the IBM Academic Initiative System z program at [email protected]. The contest runs through December 31st at midnight EST.
