Programming Competitions and Hackathons
If you feel confident in your abilities and want to see how you fare against other CS students, as well as others in the tech world, you should do a tech competition. It is a great way for you to know where you stand and find out areas in which to improve. If you do very well, then you can add that accomplishment on your resume.
If you'd like help composing a team for any competition, talk to Justin. For team competitions, you must have a sponsor from the department.
