‘Virtual’ HSCC BDPA Midwest Region – 2016 Virtual High School
Computer Competition ( # HSCC )
by BDPA Midwest Region Vice‐President, Michael Wulf
CHICAGO, IL (bdpatoday)—It was like an “Invasion of the Biggest and Best of the Midwest” as teams converged on the
Virtual Midwest HSCC Battlefield to compete for the coveted “Midwest Region Championship”!
BDPA High School Computer Competition (HSCC) teams of students converged on the Midwest region attending from many chapters. This year Central Illinois, Chicago, Kansas City,
New Jersey & Southern Minnesota met up (through use of virtual collaboration technology) Saturday, June 25th 2016 for the grueling 10‐hour coding scrimmage (e.g. Hack‐A‐Thon) to
exercise their programming and presentation skills in preparation for the National BDPA HSCC competition.
The purpose of the Midwest region’s competition is to refine and allow their BDPA HSCC team coordinators to assess the “technical” readiness of their team while giving the newest
students a real taste of what it’s like to compete at a national competition. Although the competition is “virtual” they still follow the same guidelines as expected at the national
competition. They must arrive 30 minutes early before the competition starts, be prepared to code writing an application to meet a set of business application requirements provided to
them at the last minute jettison in to their team’s shared competition folder, participate in the formality of the event by listening as a regional official carefully reads the problem
statement (which is not necessarily easier than that actual problem provided by the National HSCC competition), and an opportunity for questions and answers before they start coding.
It definitely was no easy day. BDPA teams are agile and generally use a SCRUM approach. The students spend the next
7‐8 hours chunking and breaking out, organizing, and dividing individual requirements from the programming problem statement to ultimately write their multi‐tier solution coding in
either PhP, Java, or C# languages. This programming problem includes a live SQL database the students have to build or import a schema to and access data dynamically. The solution
must meet modern web standards for dynamic HTML as well as inclusion of application and other cyber‐security requirements.
The team has to complete the build of their application by the designated time where they will be given a short break and time to prepare a professional presentation for judging describing
and displaying each major functional requirement in theirsolution.
Technical and soft skills are evaluated by judges in the competition. Because of the virtual nature of the
competition they must also prepare a video defense of their application and touch on each programming requirement for judging. This 10 minute or less streaming (unedited)
video of their live presentation will be used by an additional second panel of judges from across the Midwest to add to the evaluation and selection the winner. The purpose of the
“judging” is really to provide significant and useful feedback to each of the teams as they spend the next 30‐45 days preparing for the National HSCC competition at the BDPA
National Technology Conference in Atlanta, August 10‐13, 2016.
The day isn’t all “coding”. Students are provided breakfast and lunch by their host chapter, students have a chance to introduce themselves to each other from all locations and
engage via interactive video collaboration. Each student who participated introduces themselves by answering an “Ice‐Breaker” question. The day is carefully scheduled with
interviews from regional and national board members – National President Mike A. Williams addressed the students via Skype and even our very own BDPA Founder, Earl Pace,
Jr. conveyed his message via telephone. Midwest HSCC competitions have been heavily promoted through social media and streamed live through the BDPA Midwest
uStream and YouTube channels (http://Live.BDPAMidwest.org).
Judging for the Midwest regional competition will continue
through the week and winners will be announced one week later or by July 2nd, 2016. BDPA Midwest Region sends many thanks to the students, chapter HSCC coordinators,
chapter judges, regional judges and the army of volunteers to make this happen for the students!
A special thank you to Joel Johnson (Central Illinois) and Sandra Cabral (Southern Minnesota) for helping organize, coordinate and run this year’s Midwest regional
competition!
Thanks to the dedicated chapter HSCC Coordinators for
making our 10th Annual BDPA Midwest Regional a huge success!

2016 INNOVATION SUMMIT
2016 Annual Regional Innovation Summit
OVERVIEW
In 1975, BDPA, formerly known as Black Data Processing Associates, was co-founded in Philadelphia, PA by Earl A. Pace, Jr. and the late David Wimberly. The association’s co-founders cited a lack of minorities in middle and upper management, low recruitment in underserved communities, and very poor preparation of minorities for new “data processing” and tech positions, resulting in an overall lack of career mobility known by many today as the “Digital Divide”. Today, BDPA’s mission partners, new BDPA Members, National BDPA High School Computer Competition (HSCC) alumni, and tech industry stakeholders have increased their participation and investments with BDPA. This is accomplished by developing new talent acquisition strategies while improving tech-inclusion thrusts with local BDPA Chapters and regional outreach engagements. This year’s summit theme is “Innovation evolves, once shared.” Join or partner with us to discover more — bdpadc.org
