International Schools Software Competition 2008
will be held in India in
September 2008 



International Schools’ Software Competition

The competition, which is run under international competition rules, is held normally in conjunction with the SEARCC Conference, and is open to students not more than 17 years of age. It also provides opportunities for the young people of the region to acquire a better awareness of the culture, life-style and aspirations of each other’s country, thereby contributing to better understanding in relationships for future generations.

All teams must come from SEARCC countries, and be endorsed by the national Computer Society of their home country. The SEARCC Conference host country provides food and accommodation for the teams and their chaperones during the competition period.

Registration must be done through the respective country’s national Computer Society, from where it will be forwarded to the host Society for the SEARCC Conference.

International Micromouse Competition

The aim of the SEARCC Micromouse Competition, inaugurated during the SEARCC96 Conference, is to expose our youth and the general public to automation and robotics in a way that is both fun and easy to relate to. It is hoped that this will assist in developing an automation culture in the SEARCC member countries.

The objective of the competition is to build a Micromouse, a small microprocessor-controlled robot vehicle that is able to navigate its way through an unknown maze. It searches for the quickest path from the start to destination points in the maze, then negotiates the path in the shortest possible time.

Each SEARCC country will be allowed to send a maximum of two (2) teams with one (1) chaperone. Each team may consist of up to two (2) students.

Registration must be done through their respective country’s Computer Society, from where it will be forwarded to the host Member Society for the SEARCC Conference.

Students must be under twenty-three (23) years of age on 1st January of the year in which the Competition is held.
