In February, the IEEE/ACM Club hosted the annual High School Hawk Hack. In only its second year post-pandemic, this event grew significantly to include over 50 students from 12 schools across the state. More than a dozen IEEE/ACM club members organized, instructed and proctored the competition that has students compete in teams to solve a series of programming challenges. The results are then tallied by HackerRank, a platform with Computer Science problems, used by many employers to assess the coding skills of potential candidates.

The IEEE/ACM club and the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering hope that this event continues to grow for high school students pursuing a career in technology.
