IBM UK Mainframe Challenge Poster
IBM has launched its annual Mainframe contest. It has already started and it will continue to run until 31st December 2012.

The prizes this year include:

  • A hoodie to the first 250 students to complete Part 1.
  • £50 Amazon Gift Card for the first 25 to correctly complete Part 2.
  • Samsung Galaxy Tab and a visit to Hursley Labs for the top 3 students completing Part 3.

The Mainframe challenge is a great opportunity for undergraduates to learn some skills related to IBM’s zOS operating system. Skills which are sought after in industry and hard to come by, without this kind of opportunity.

So far, there are 200 students signed up and the majority of them are from Manchester University. It would be a good show if we could get Aber Comp Sci in the top 3 and win those prizes.
