2024 North America Student Challenge - 3 Challenge Problems
Welcome registered contestants to the IEEE Computer Society North America Student Challenge (NASC) Competition. Good luck with the competition, and let your creative instincts, coding, and data analytics skills flow. We hope to see you as finalists in Washington, DC, on 16-18 December 2024.
This site has links to the three challenge problems. Each challenge problem has its own submission requirements, and you will submit your solution individually to each challenge.
Deadline to submit solutions (to all three challenge problems): Monday, 21 October 2024, 11:59 pm, anywhere on Earth.
Help and Clarifications
To ask the authors (henceforth referred to as “Technical Leads”) clarification questions about the three challenge problems, we have set up a Piazza page with the Technical Leads and the Organizational Lead as “instructors.” You can ask questions tagged with the appropriate challenge number (e.g. Challenge 1, Challenge 2, Challenge 3) or general logistics. You can ask a private question or a public question. A private question will only be seen by the instructors, and a public question will be seen by all registered contestants.
