Are you a university or college student looking for a challenge? Look no further than the IEEEXtreme international programming competition!

IEEEXtreme is a 24-hour, online, global coding competition that brings together students from all over the world to test their skills and knowledge against their peers. This competition is organized by the IEEE, the world’s largest technical professional organization for the advancement of technology.

Participating in IEEEXtreme provides a unique opportunity for students to showcase their skills and gain recognition in the global tech community. Not only that, but it also allows students to connect with their peers from around the world and learn from each other.

But the benefits of IEEEXtreme don’t stop there. Participating in the competition can also help students develop essential skills employers highly value. These skills include problem-solving, critical thinking, and the ability to work under pressure.

Another great thing about IEEEXtreme is that it’s open to students of all skill levels. Whether a beginner or an experienced coder, you can participate and challenge yourself to improve. And with a wide variety of categories to choose from, there’s something for everyone.

So if you’re a university or college student looking for a challenge and an opportunity to showcase your skills and connect with others in the tech community, then IEEEXtreme is the perfect competition for you. Sign up today and see how far you can go!

In summary, IEEEXtreme is a 24-hour, online, global coding competition which is organized by IEEE, it gives the opportunity for university and college students to showcase their skills, connect with peers from around the world, develop important skills that are highly valued by employers, and it’s open to students of all skill levels. It is a perfect competition for anyone looking for a challenge.

IEEEXtreme 15.0 Call for Judges / Problem Authors

 in IEEE / xtreme  tagged ieee / ieeextreme by

Are you fascinated by programming? We, the IEEEXtreme 15.0 Executive Committee, are opening the registrations for a select few judges and problem authors.

IEEEXtreme is a global challenge in which teams of IEEE student members compete in a 24-hour time span against each other to solve a set of programming problems authored by industry professionals and coding experts like yourself. Over the 15 years since it began, the competition has attracted over 70,000 competitors from over 2,500 schools in 90 countries around the world.

This is an opportunity where you can not only develop the coding challenges but also you can evaluate them while having the opportunity to associate with some of the top experts in the field. The judging staff of IEEEXtreme are all volunteers who strive to make the contest a fun and exciting experience for all.

Judges responsibilities may include one or more of the following:

Develop at least 1 original and innovative problem. You may see examples of the format of the IEEEXtreme problems here: https://csacademy.com/ieeextreme-practice/
Review and evaluate the problems proposed by another judge and provide feedback;
Provide independent solutions to other proposed problems using any of the competition programming languages;
Be online during the day of the competition for 1-2 hours based on their availability in order to address the contestants’ questions related to the authored challenge.

While not everyone who submits a nomination will be selected, we will carefully review all nominations and thank you in advance for your time to express your interest! We look forward to welcoming you aboard to the IEEEXtreme community!

Please apply using this form on or before 2021/09/19.

Programming Course Series [01 – Introductory course to python]

 in IEEE  tagged course / cyprus / ieee / python by

Computer programming is important today because so much of our world is automated. Humans need to be able to control the interaction between people and machines. Since computers and machines are able to do things so efficiently and accurately, we use computer programming to harness that computing power.

This is the first of hopefully many programming courses that can introduce technically inclined people to Python programming.

Topic:

Everybody can write a computer program (An introduction using Python)

Agenda

Introduction to programming and reasons to write programs?

These are the course-wide materials as well as Introductions’ first section where we discuss what writing programs mean. In the third part of the class, we will finish the Introduction and have the quiz and first task.

Installing and Using Python

We’re going to set up stuff so that you can write Python programs.

Introduction to programming and reasons to write programs? (continued)

We try to cover the “big picture” of programming so that you get a “table of contents” from what to expect to learn. Don’t worry if, the first time you hear it, not everything makes perfect sense. This part is very broad.

Variables and Expressions

We will explain how a program uses the memory of the machine to store, retrieve and process information in this section.

Conditional Code

We will move from sequential code in this section that simply runs one line of code after another to conditional code where some steps are skipped. It is a very basic idea – but it is how “choices” are made by computer software.

Functions

We are going to learn about what functions are and how we can use them. Functions will be an essential way for us to make sense of our code, as we move into more and more complicated programs.

Loops and Iteration

Our four fundamental programming patterns are completed by loops and iteration. Loops are the way we say Python over and over to do something. Loops are the manner in which we create programs that remain with a problem until the problem is solved.
