Competition division: ”Dance, Dance, Dance Around”
This is a territory game in which the teams compete to occupy as much territory as possible on a field divided up into grids. The students will become players and decide on the movements of agents on the game field. The points for each team are calculated from the squares occupied after a set number of turns are played and the team with greater total points wins the match. All teams compete in a single elimination tournament.
Themed division: “Regional revitalization utilizing ICT”
Recently, social problems are expected to be solved by implementing innovations of the 4th industrial revolution (IoT, big data, AI, robot, sharing economy, etc.) into industries and social life. This can also be said about the regional issues. By solving these problems through ICT, we can enhance a more modernized society, safe living and communication among different regions. In the themed division, we seek entries of software developed from this kind of point of view.
