University School Students Participate In Code Sharks

HPCC Systems presented an inaugural event called Code Sharks that introduced Middle and Upper School students in our Computer Science internship and robotics programs to the HPCC Systems Big Data platform and the supporting Big Data Language, ECL (Enterprise Control Language). Students were introduced to three public music datasets, and a series of challenge questions were posed for each one. In a seven-hour workshop session, students split into teams and answered as many questions as possible using ECL.

Teams were mentored by LexisNexis Risk Solutions staff and undergraduate students from the NSU College of Computing and Engineering. At the end, teams submitted their work to the judges, and trophies were awarded with prizes to the top three teams.

Congratulations to the winning teams!

  • 1st Place: Team 2 IQ: Ethan G. and Nazar A.
  • 2nd Place: Team Ctrl Alt Delete: Max B. and Enzo J.
  • 3rd Place: Team 405 Found: Maddie G., Noah R., and Dante M.
