Special awards are also given in the categories of: Most Creative, Best Comedy, Best Drama, Best Educational Game, Best Educational Movie, Best Adventure Game, Best use of Music, Best use of Sound, Best use of Dialogue, and Best Original Idea.



AP Bowl



ICE began holding an annual AP Bowl in 2006. Participants are required to complete a practice Advanced Placment Computer Science multiple choice exam. This is a paper-based multiple choice test similar to the AP CS A multiple choice part. There are 40 questions and students will have 75 minutes to complete the exam. During the event, information sessions are held for parents. Tours of Georgia Tech are also available. Students are awarded based on their performance.


Cool Computing


Join us for a Cool Computing Day at Georgia Tech to hear about all of the cool things going on in computing education, industry and research. The event will include a student panel, a corporate panel, research speakers, lunch and so much more. Our hope is that after attending Cool Computing, you will be able to see yourself as a part of the next cool thing in computing.
