Awards and Recognition
In the Lt. Governor’s Computing Challenge, there will be no traditional winners or rankings based on first, second, or third place. Instead, the focus will be on recognizing and celebrating exceptional student projects for their quality, creativity, and impact. All submissions will be reviewed by a panel of expert judges. The goal is not to determine “winning” projects, but rather to recognize and reward the many innovative and impressive submissions that are sure to be a part of this challenge.
Participants in the Lt. Governor’s Computing Challenge will have the opportunity to contend for a variety of fabulous STEM-related incentives and prizes. Just enter the competition in one of the three challenges and submit your project to be eligible. Rewards include:
