We’ve just launched a unique and challenging wireframe contest with a prize purse of $3,000! As part of this contest, the goal is simple - analyze an existing set of wireframes, review the proposed list of improvements to the wireframes, and then implement the wireframe updates. To do this, we’re arming you with everything you need (video walkthroughs, documentation, wireframes, VM access).
Prize Structure
· 1st Place Prize - $1,800
· 2nd Place Prize - $800
· 3rd Place Prize - $400

TCO13 is not even close to over but online rounds of TCO14 will start up in July! We thought it’d be fun to play a little guessing game complete with prizes. Check it out and take your best guess!
That’s right, more than 10,000 registrants plugging away for the 2013 TopCoder Open. An all time record for TopCoder! Good luck everyone in this final period of competition!
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) have kicked-off a new project to prevent healthcare fraud and the first contest is now live! The goal of this project is help design a peer-to-peer data exchange network to support studies that seek to identify fraudulent claims. Visit here for more details about the project and to register for the Conceptualization contest.
TopCoder has a pipeline of DotNetNuke UI Prototype Contests coming! Similar to a Wordpress UI Prototype, DotNetNuke UI Prototypes will create installable skins for the DotNetNuke Content Management System.
The first contest of many is live now! Click here for more details.
Good Luck!
Attention all robotics and computer vision enthusiasts! Want a chance to work on the robot on the International Space Station? The $10,000 NASA Robonaut Challenge is your ticket!
Robonaut 2 is the first humanoid robot in space and was sent to the International Space Station (ISS) with the intention of taking over tasks too dangerous or too mundane for astronauts. There’s only one problem: Robonaut 2 needs to learn how to interact with the types of input devices the astronauts use on the ISS.
How do we fix that? To start, NASA has built several taskboards for Robonaut to play with.
The taskboards have a number of LEDs that turn on when the power switch is flipped or the buttons are pushed. See a video of R2 interacting with the taskboard.
In these challenges, competitors will write algorithms to control Robonaut and teach him how to interact with the taskboard.
Learn more here about the competition here and compete here.
