Students will need to use Python to complete the programming tasks.
3Do students need to bring their laptops or any equipment to the competition?
Students should bring their laptops (no tablets) that run on Windows or macOS and can connect to Wi-Fi. Please also bring a charger to keep the computer powered throughout the day. They may also bring a mouse, keyboard, and any other personal computer accessories as needed.
4Do students need to install any specific software before the competition?

5Can participants search for information online or use AI tools during the competition?
Students may search online for information and use AI tools to assist with the tasks. However, all work must be completed independently by participants during the competition. To maintain fairness and academic integrity, directly copying and pasting someone's work or AI-generated code with minimal to no original contribution, is prohibited. The Project reserves the right to review your chat history with AI chatbots or question about your code.
