Okanagan College IEEE Student Branch is hosting IEEEXtreme 18.0.

IEEEXtreme is a global challenge in which teams of IEEE Student members – advised and proctored by an IEEE member and supported by an IEEE Student Branch – compete in 24 hours against each other to solve a set of programming problems https://ieeextreme.org/

In previous years, there were over 6,000 teams, a total of just under 15,000 participants, and 65 Countries competing. This includes over 600 Student Branches, over 700 Ambassadors, and approximately 2,500 volunteers.

Many kind sponsors and volunteers are contributing to help ensure the success of this event. Registration is open until Oct 12, 2024. To find out more or join a team, please get in touch with any student branch as soon as possible.

 

Time & Date: 5 – 7:30 p.m., October 9 th, 2024
