Anyone here ever participated in one of these things?

BTW, that guy at the end of the video made some really good points. Was that you?

I mentored my local high school's IT Club at this competition last year. No, I didn't appear in the video (but my son did). It was a lot of fun...I'd wish they'd had this kind of thing when I was in high school, but it would've been hard rounding up enough Vaxen to make it work.
