Miami ACT-SO Competition-2016

***

We believe that many of our high school students are not just technology consumers but also creators. This is why the Miami-Dade Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) has partnered with Information Technology educators and professionals in guiding them toward the path of software development . Together, we will implement ways to encourage and prepare students for key IT roles at companies, such as Oracle, Apple, Google, Microsoft, IBM, HP, Belle Fleur Technologies Inc or create their own IT company.

Since October 3, 2015, Oracle volunteers have been training a group of high school students, for this ACT-SO Computer Science Competition.On Saturday the students spent the morning working with coaches to finish their project. They added final touches to their web sites and created display boards. After lunch they presented their work to a panel of judges. The judges selected two gold medalists who be will competing for scholarships and prizes during the 38th Annual ACT-SO National Finals on July 14-17 in Cincinnati, Ohio.

It was AWESOME!!!
