Introduction

With over 2000 participants in the five competitions of the last IT Festival, we believe that these competitions appeal to a lot of students and these competitions also help in arousing students interests and knowledge in the field of Information Technology. Therefore, we will continue to organize these competitions in the coming IT World 2000. However, we will modify some of the details so that they will be more suitable in achieving the aims of the IT World.

First of all, we consider to cancel the "Most Outstanding IT Student Award", as only less than 20 students participated in this event. Besides, we will modify the competition process of the other competitions, including the IT Project, Chinese word processing, Computer Graphics and IT Contest. The complete fact sheets of the four competitions are attached below.

Theme: Education and Entertainment in the IT world

Aims:

To recognize teamwork among students in the utilization of IT skills for creativity and innovation

To explore potential roles of students in real-world IT applications

Participants should have good team spirit, and are competent in the perception, design, development and implementation of project-based tasks.
