Global Student Challenge

The IEEE Computer Society Global Student Challenge is a student team competition to create solutions for real-world programming and data analytic problems. Teams of up to two students work on three challenge prompts provided by academic and industry teams, with a virtual Phase I and an in-person Phase II presentation for finalists. Final Phase II presentations take place at the IEEE Annual Computer Security Applications Conference (ACSAC) in Los Angeles.

Monetary prizes (total US$5,000), one year of IEEE and IEEE Computer Society student membership for winners, travel and lodging support for finalists to present in person.

Students participate in teams of up to two; at least one member must be available for the in-person Phase II presentation in December; teams may have an optional professional mentor.

Register during the registration window and submit solutions for all three challenge prompts for Phase I; teams of up to two students apply and may include an optional professional mentor.
