WUGrade is finally finished. After
WUGrade is finally finished. After a week of late nights, hard coding, and documentation, it is finally done. Now it's in the hands of the judges. We find out on March 31st whether or not we've won. Right now it looks pretty good, since as far as I can tell only 13 groups total submitted their projects correctly on time. I haven't been overly impressed by any of the other ones I've seen, and certainly none of them have the immense amount of generated code documentation that we have nor the 20 page writeup.
This weekend is the annual Engineering Scholarship Competition, where 12 high school students are flown in to compete for 4 full scholarships. As usual, this year's group is very impressive, and much smarter than me. I, however, have the upper hand on them, as I get to interview all twelve tomorrow and make full reports on all of them. These reports are then used by the scholarship committee to decide who gets the scholarship. I've spent most of today reading over the students' applications, essays, and recommendations and coming up with some real doozies to ask them as interview questions. It should be a good time, although one that will involve waking up at 7:00 tomorrow morning. Yikes.
