Welcome to the TopCoder CS-STEM program.
Funded and supported by the U.S. government’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), our program brings TopCoder’s renowned software development community together with other partners in the fields of life skills, scientific mentoring and academic performance in a new effort to engage and inspire students in grades 6 through 12.
The purpose of the TopCoder CS-STEM program is to create a supportive extra-curricular community that will encourage middle and high school students to foster interests in critical science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills before they enter college level programs. The program will feature compelling content and activities designed to explore that content. Activities will include computer science challenges, logic puzzles, competitions, critical thinking exercises, and collaborative projects.
We will offer plenty of prizes, and recognition of both progress and accomplishment will be a central force in the TopCoder CS-STEM program community. Most important of all, our program will be a fun place to spend time productively, in an atmosphere that encourages experimentation and mentoring and defuses ‘fear of failure’.
The official launch of the program has happened and we are thrilled to announce NoNameSite.com; the name selected by the community. This will be a constantly evolving experiment, so stay in touch by leaving us your contact information for news and updates and get ready for a new experience!
