Oregon Game Project Challenge

TechStart, in affiliation with the Oregon University System and the Oregon Computer Science Teachers Association (OCSTA), was proud to host the Oregon Game Project Challenge (ogpc 2.0) for its second year at Chemeketa Community College on Saturday, May 16, 2009. 

Congratulations to all participating teams for putting together impressive computer games based on this year's theme: water resources.

This year we had 41 middle and high school teams of 4-7 students competing from around the state of Oregon and Southwest Washington.
