GRAND BLANC, MI (March 27, 2019)
Are you a talented amateur software developer? Are you passionate about writing code? Do you create your own apps? If so, prepare your best analytic skills.

A competitive software coding competition on Saturday, May 11, 2019, from 10 am to 4:00 pm at 9478 S. Saginaw Rd., Grand Blanc, MI 48439.
The Spud Coder Challenge is Spud Software’s inaugural coding competition, putting beginner level programmer’s skills to the test.

Each component allows participants to demonstrate their talents working through challenges for a final grand prize of $1,000, the second prize of $500 and the third prize of $250.
Registration is open to coders with no full-time programming experience over the age of 18. Everyone registered will enjoy pizza and soft drinks throughout the competition.

They are most often given to new graduates or interns, but anyone may be subject to
a coding challenge. The focus for the Spud Coder Challenge is to engage entry-level software developers that have never had a full-time programming job with problem-solving and basic coding skills and assess their suitability for the industry.
