I finished proctoring the remainder of the contest and then took a break to grab some lunch. I really enjoy having the chance to meet such bright students and learn more about programming, especially since my background is in supply chain. I hope my volunteering helped free up the staff to focus on more pressing tasks while also helping keep everyone’s spirits up.
During this first two hour time slot, I helped get the participants set up in their rooms to begin the contest. I spent most of my time proctoring the high school kids. Because of my service, the staff could focus on taking care of the judges while I made sure the kids weren't opening any unauthorized programs. This is my third year volunteering at this event, and I look forward to it every year!
