  I am pleased to announce the 2006 Windows ChallengE Competition. The Registration Deadline is January 22, 2006. This event is an opportunity to integrate a real-world challenge into your students’ curriculum. All you have to do is invite your students to register on the competition and mentor them as they develop computer-based solutions for a real-world problem.  Your role as a mentor would be to monitor your student team and guide them through this exciting, real-world contest as they compete for up to $8,000 in cash prizes and the chance to present their project at the Microsoft Campus in Redmond, Washington. In addition, your team may also be selected to participate in the IEEE Computer Society International Design Competition (CSIDC) finals in Washington, D.C. and compete for additional cash prices.
