As a national competition, we recognize that not all academic calendars are the same, so we’ve extended the deadline for the Topplers Domino Award to allow students in computer science programs across the US to participate. Only 500 words on a computer scientist who has made a positive impact on the world through their work, makes it easy to participate. Winners are awarded a trip to SXSW Interactive this spring with the opportunity to explore the latest in innovation, meet with influential technologists, and get inspired! Essays are due October 29, 2014. http://dominoaward.topplers.org/submit-an-essay/ If you have any questions, please let me know: storey@topplers.org
