An event on the UWindsor campus Friday, September 28, will give students an opportunity to showcase their prowess in computer programming or product design while competing for a chance to win $5,000.

Code/Design to Win is sponsored by the School of Computer Science and the Office of Co-operative Education and Workplace Partnerships with Communitech, a public-private innovation hub based in the Waterloo Region.

The competition is open to students registered in any Canadian post-secondary program. The top 75 competitors nationwide have a chance to qualify for the national competition in January 2019.

Johanna Beneteau, internship co-ordinator in the UWindsor Office of Co-operative Education and Workplace Partnerships, says the competition provides experience valued by industry.
