In conjunction with the Illinois Governor's proclamation that April is
Information Technology month, and to provide an additional opportunity to
practice your coding and programming skills before the fall Tech Challenge,
ITA has launched the *Tech Challenge Teaser*
<http://trk.cp20.com/click/fnq8o-aj9tn8-1yppjoh9/>. This challenge is
similar to the one in the fall, but on a smaller scale and is administered
100% virtually.

*A few things to remember:*

   - It's a virtual challenge - take it anywhere you have internet access. The
   link is open until *Friday, April 14th at 5pm CT*.
   - You will need to upload your resume before you can begin the
   challenge, which will be sent to our sponsors.
   - Once you start, you cannot stop, and you will have 2 hours to complete
   the challenge.
   - A variety of different coding languages will be available to choose
   from for each question. Pick one you're most comfortable with!
   - The challenge is hosted on the platform, HackerRank.
   - This is an individual based challenge - no cheating! HackerRank flags
   any plagiarism.

*HackerRank Best Practices:*

   - Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer work best.
   - There's a sample test in the directions before the challenge. Feel
   free to try it before entering the challenge!
   - Other questions? Check out HackerRank's FAQ page *here*
   <http://trk.cp20.com/click/fnq8o-aj9tn9-1yppjoh0/>.

*Prizes:*

   - The overall top 3 coders will each receive a $1,000 prize and will be
   contacted the week of April 17th.
   - Winners are invited to the ITA's *Tech Summit*
   <http://trk.cp20.com/click/fnq8o-aj9tna-1yppjoh0/> on May 10th to be
   recognized.
