The results are in – the BDPA Columbus team scored 12th out of 22 teams in the 25th Annual BDPA High School Computer Competition! Congratulations team!
Here’s a few key facts to put this achievement in perspective:
- This is an improvement over last year, in which the 2009 team scored 24th place out of 25 teams.
- Out of the 4 students on the team, 3 of them were first-time participants, and one of them is a high school freshman.
- Most of the team had no prior knowledge in web design or .NET programming.
- The top 5 teams receive awards and recognition at the yearly Conference Gala.
This marks the culmination of a lot of hard work on the part of these students. We are very proud of them – way to go Team! (see some of the team’s highlights on BDPA Facebook)

I join Ricardo in sharing good vibes with the youngsters that made up the HSCC team from BDPA Columbus chapter. They did all of us in the state of Ohio proud!
I look forward to seeing the chapter continue its growth as it prepares for the 2011 HSCC championships in Chicago IL.
peace, Wayne
