IEEEXtreme, IEEE’s largest simultaneously attended, is an annual global computer coding competition where teams of IEEE Student Members compete against one another for rank, certificates, and prizes. The competition will take place this year on 25 October.

You can contribute to this event by volunteering to be a proctor. Your help will be gratefully received.

During the 24 hours of the competition, Proctor tasks include:

  • Monitor the general flow of the activity.
  • Inform students when the competition begins, in the middle of it, when there are 6 hours left, and when there is 1 hour left.
  • Ensure that no one external to the team helps or assists the student participants in resolving the problems in any way—this includes no assistance from proctors.
  • Ensures teams receive adequate rest, nutrition, and exercise.

Proctors are allowed to manage up to 20 teams. Teams may also enjoy the support of multiple proctors to share responsibilities and take shifts. Assigned proctors are responsible for ensuring that participants do not engage in plagiarism.
