Learn more:
- The deadline for this year’s entries will be February 11, 2011.
- They will then be distributed to the judges for judging.
- Once completed, the judges tally sheet will be sent to me for final tabulation and the finalists determined.
- The judges will have about 2 weeks to score the entries.
- Announcement of the winners will be at the awards gala to be held on April 1, 2011 at Farrington High School Auditorium.
- Certificates of Participation will be presented to all team members.
- Top five finalists will have a plaque.
- Prizes will be awarded to the school of the winning teams.
In the past, these prizes were monetary awards and products/services to be used for the school. All students who entered as a team member are invited to attend the Gala and ONLY these students are eligible for the random prize giveaways. These range from backpacks, laptop bags, t-shirts, to XBoxes and iPods. Last year, I donated 4 iPod nanos, an iPad, and a netbook for the random drawing. My MicroSoft “partner” have been donating at 4 XBoxes at each of our three past contests.
In addition, there will be entertainment by local musicians and teen dance revue. We also have celebrity award presenters and opening keynote speakers from city, state and Federal government leaders and educators.
Last year, Howard Schmidt (a personal friend) made a short video thanking our students for their part in cybersecurity.
Unfortunately, our contest is non-profit and everything is pretty much donations and “aloha“, so I can not offer you a trip to Hawaii, but if you can attend, we do have contacts in the hotel industry that may be able to get us a very good rate.
