PSC Coding

In 2018 I was first tasked with operating the coding competition for the Peel Skills Challenge (PSC), the regional level competition event in my area. I had been one of two from my school district selected to attend a pilot for a provincial level competition run by the Ontario Skills Competition (OSC) the previous year. The purpose of the PSC competition was to select who would be sent on to the provincial level to represent Peel region.

The scope of the project was to develop the competition questions, provide sample problems in advance, run the competition, answer competitor questions, and assist with judging. For the 2018, an external judge was brought in to collaborate on and ensure impartiality with the judging of the competition. In 2019, I collaborated with 2018's victor (Zonggao Li) to prepare, operate, and judge the year's competition.
