IBM student mainframe challenge

[dzher]

FYI

The aim of the challenge is to give current university students, possibly with no mainframe experience, some appreciation of the z platform through a series of "hands-on" exercises. If the lure of using the technology with a chance to enhance their CV isn't a big enough incentive to take part, then there are also a series of prizes that the students can win along the way.

You'll join a fictional company and, over three increasingly challenging stages; develop mainframe knowledge that translates into real skills for your C.V. Learn how businesses use these powerful machines. Prove your new-found abilities, and you'll have the chance to win a t-shirt, an Amazon Kindle e-Book Reader, and the top 3 winners receive a Sony PlayStation 3 with Move motion controller or Xbox 360 with Kinect!

The winners will also have the opportunity to visit IBM's Development Laboratory at Hursley (near Winchester) and see mainframes and other innovative technologies in action.

When is the competition running?

Registration website is now open and the challenge will begin on Monday 18th October 2010. The closing date is 31st December 2010 and prizes will be given out in January 2010.
