The BDPA Annual National IT Showcase [www.bdpa.org]
The Annual BDPA National Information Technology (IT) Showcase allows student presenters from educational institutions all over the United States to showcase their research papers by presenting and demonstrating their research. The presentations will represent advanced computing topics presented by highly motivated high school and college students to an audience of students and IT professionals.
College and high school students have the opportunity to participate in this 2 day event held in conjunction with the Annual National BDPA Technology Conference. The focus of this event includes, but is not limited to, intelligent technologies (i.e., smart toys, machine learning, and genetic algorithms, etc.), wearable computing technologies, web technologies, parallel computing technologies, computing curricula, computer graphics technologies, etc.
The student's Presentations/Research Projects will be judged in two categories, college and high school by a panel of 3 Judges. Three awards will be made in each category for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. The awards will be presented at the IT Showcase Awards Presentation at the end of the IT Showcase session. Each participant will be recognized with a Certificate of Appreciation.
