UAB Alice Film Festival 2010

The UAB Alice Film Festival provides an opportunity for Alabama K-12 students to create video games and animated movies using Alice and submit them to a competition. Movies and video games from the film festival are shown at a special event and awards are given in several categories. This year's film festival will take place in early April, 2010. The specific date will be defined soon.

Related Event: The UAB High School Programming Contest (HSPC) brings talented students from high schools throughout Alabama to the UAB campus to participate in an organized competition. Students individually compete to demonstrate their programming skills and problem solving abilities by attempting to solve six programming problems within a three hour period. Schools that have more than three contestants are also eligible for team awards. More information about the HSPC is available here.

Related Event: The CIS Department offers the UAB Summer Computer Camps - a 4-week series of summer camps for high school and middle school students. If you are interested in the camps, more information is available here.
