2009 Student Information Technology Education Training Program
Throughout the year, local BDPA chapters conduct SITES training programs for the youth in their communities. These programs are designed to expose our youth to the concepts of computers and give them the expertise to develop web applications. The Cleveland chapter participates in regional competitions in Ohio to further prepare their students. All Cleveland SITES students participate in a regional computer competition in Ohio to further prepare them. Each BDPA chapter chooses the top 3 to 5 students to serve as one team to represent them at the National High School Computer Competition to compete against chapter teams from all over the country. They are provided a real-world business problem on the day of competition. They then have seven hours to develop a fully functional web application to solve the problem.
