Most of the programming subteam from 2068 participates on ZERO team SuperNOVA (which is actually made up of students from the several schools in our district) and we plan to compete next year as well.

Explaining to your building principal that some students are going to miss an exam because they are going to MIT to have their code run on the ISS is awesome.

Reason for field trip date change: Talk to NASA!

We did this last year and made it to the semifinals! We'd encourage as a great learning offseason activity. Hoping to be a part of it for next year

One thing to note is that the competition is free! All you need is access to the website.

I have used this as a training for freshman programmers. They can spend time during the summer playing some of the games already there on the web site. I have been amazed how their programming skills improve.

The winners get to to MIT and have their code run on the International Space Station live! That is not a bad resume builder.
