This event is proposed to be continued every year as a preparation event for IEEE Xtreme which is a flagship eve nt of IEEE Computer Society.\n\nSLIIT Xtreme is intended to provide the co ntestants an experience of the actual IEEE Xtreme competition environment which would immensely help them when the face the IEEE Xtreme competition. This will also meaningful way to spend the free time of students during t he lockdown period while the whole country is going through a lockdown and travel restrictions due to the covid-19 pandemic. This event is proposed to be held online using the HackerRank platform to provide a similar exper ience to IEEE Xtreme. This will also be a 24-hour event similar to IEEE Xt reme but this year (2021) it will be held completely online without any ph ysical attendance at SLIIT premises. The contestants will be provided a se t of programming questions on an hourly basis similar to IEEE Xtreme and w ill be awarded points according to their performance. The contestants can participate in teams of 3 people each or individually as well. Teams with highest performance will be awarded certificates and prizes. Current Stude nts of SLIIT are able to participate in this event and an IEEE Membership is not required to participate in this event.\n\nThis event also includes a webinar to introduce the contestants about the event and sample question s of IEEE Xtreme\, how to participate in SLIIT Xtreme and IEEE Xtreme\, Re gistration process of IEEE Xtreme and SLIIT Xtreme will be discussed in de tail. This webinar will be hosted on the zoom platform and will also be li ve streamed on Facebook pages as well.\n\nThe main objective of this hacka thon will be to introduce students of SLIIT to IEEEXtreme and thereby enco urage them to take part in IEEEXtreme. The main objective of this event is to make contestants familiar with the environment of IEEEXtreme and how t he Competition takes place. We also hope to enhance the programming skills of the students at SLIIT with the help of this Hackathon.\n\nAdditionally \, we intend to increase the number of participants for IEEEXtreme with th e support of SLIIT Xtreme Hackathon.\n\nThe event will be an online hackat hon aimed at helping undergraduates at SLIIT to be more familiar with the IEEEXtreme Programming Competition. The hackathon will 24-hour event where the participants could participate individually or as a team of three whe re they solve a set of programming problems on the HackerRank platform. Th e registration process will be started via the IEEE Computer Society and S oftware Engineering Student Community social media pages which will collec t details of the participants. After screening\, the participants will be officially part of the hackathon. After concluding the hackathon\, the con testants will be evaluated and select the top three participants(teams). T he top three and other participants will be given an online certificate an d prizes (Prizes depends on contribution of event sponsors).\n\nCo-sponsor ed by: Software Engineering Student Community of SLIIT\n\nAgenda: \nThe ev ent timeline may be subjected to changes depending on sponsorship availabi lity or slight organizing committee decisions.\n\nHackathon Date: Septembe r 25th 8.00 AM to September 26th 8.00 AM\n\nDuration: 24 Hours\n\nMode: On line\n\nTheme: IEEE Xtreme\n\nParticipation: Individual / Group (3 Max)\n\ nNumber of Participants: Pending (expected around 200+)\n\nHackathon promo tion activities commencement: September 4th onwards\n\nThis event includes a series of webinars to introduce participants about IEEE Xtreme 15.0 and SLIIT Xtreme 1.0\n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/280923 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/280923 ORGANIZER:sliit.ieeecs@gmail.com SEQUENCE:1 SUMMARY:SLIIT Xtreme 1.0 URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/280923 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><span style="font-weight: 400\;">The IEEE Computer Society of Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology (SLIIT) organizes &ldquo\;SLIIT Xtreme 1.0&rdquo\; in collaboration with the Softw are Engineering Student Community of SLIIT\, with the aim of conducting an online hackathon to introduce students of SLIIT to the IEEE Xtreme global programming competition.
