A team of three students from Stuttgart High School competed in this year’s All-State Coding Competition held on the campus of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Logan Heinzelman, Conner Stephens, and Evan Watson comprised Stuttgart’s team.
Stuttgart qualified for the event by finishing in the top 16 out of 107 teams in February’s Governor’s All-Region Coding Competition.
For the event, Stuttgart’s team was tasked with working together to answer 100 computer science/code-related questions. Heinzelman, Stephens, and Watson then built a Phidget Rover and wrote original code to maneuver their rover through an obstacle course. The entire competition was a three-hour event.
