The WNY Turing Challenge is excited to share a new opportunity for participants. Selected projects from this year’s challenge would be invited for publication in academic proceedings, giving students a chance to share their work with a broader academic and educational audience.
This opportunity builds on the challenge’s goal of encouraging students to explore meaningful ideas in computing, develop original projects, and communicate their work clearly. Whether a project focuses on research, creative computing, software, cybersecurity, robotics, or AI, strong submissions can show not only technical skill, but also curiosity, initiative, and thoughtful problem-solving.
For many students, the challenge is a chance to build something exciting and present it at the final showcase. For selected teams, it may also become an opportunity to take that work one step further through publication. This can include sharing the project’s motivation, approach, results, and key takeaways in a more formal way.
More details about the selection and publication process will be shared after the review period. We encourage students to submit projects that are clear, well-documented, and reflective of what they learned along the way. Strong ideas, careful execution, and strong communication all matter.
