Dear Teachers,
Only a few more days until the end of the month. Still time to sign up if you’re seeing this for the very first time! The September challenge can earn teams a maximum of 6 points, but you receive 3 just for signing up, creating at least one Kattis account, and submitting at least one solve attempt. The remaining 3 points are awarded if your team collectively solves all 5 problems.
The CS4IL team will score the results starting on Wednesday, October 1st. At that time the next challenge will also be released on our tournament website. In this 2nd round, teams will only have until mid-month, the 15th of October, to complete the challenges. If you’ve watched one of our recent videos on our Resources page, you’ll have a hint on what part of the challenge will be (hint: it is not a Kattis problem).
Please check the for your team name. We have been re-naming teams in Kattis per your instructions. If we’ve missed something or made a typo, please use the form below. If we don’t receive a name, we’ll use the school name as the default.
As mentioned above, we’ll be manually reviewing Kattis for completed solutions. If you believe we made an error, please use the feedback form below. We reserve the right to adjust scores at any time.
October will be our very first in-person events for both teachers and students! Keep these dates on your radar:
Friday Oct 10th in Hyde Park (coding workshop)
Friday Oct 24th in Old Town (pitch competition)
Saturday Nov 15th in southern Illinois (learning and innovation day)
We want to hear from YOU about coding challenges that other teams can solve! Send us your ideas and we might incorporate it into future rounds. Looking for ideas in machine learning, cybersecurity, physical computing, or data science.
If you have any feedback, see any errors, or want to appeal a scoring decision, we now have a submission form you can use. It will help us keep things more organized as our inbox is quite full!
