The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and Computer Science Teachers Association (CSTA) today announced the winners of the Cutler-Bell Prize in High School Computing. Five high school students were selected from among a pool of graduating high school seniors throughout the U.S. who applied for the award by submitting a project or artifact that engages modern technology and computer science. A panel of judges selected the recipients based on the ingenuity, complexity, relevancy and originality of their projects.
The Cutler-Bell Prize promotes the field of computer science and empowers students to pursue computing challenges beyond the traditional classroom environment. In 2015, David Cutler and Gordon Bell established the award. Cutler is a software engineer, designer, and developer of several operating systems at Digital Equipment Corporation. Bell, an electrical engineer, is researcher emeritus at Microsoft Research.
Each Cutler-Bell Prize winner receives a $10,000 cash prize. The prize amount is sent to the financial aid office of the institution the student will be attending in the fall and is then put toward each student's tuition or disbursed. This year's Cutler-Bell Prize recipients will be formally recognized at the Computer Science Teachers Association's annual conference, July 7-10, 2018 in Omaha, Nebraska.
The winning projects illustrate the diverse applications being developed by the next generation of computer scientists.
