This year’s event will begin at 6 p.m. Friday, Dec. 2, and continue throughout the night until 10 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 3, at Thomas College.

“The Thomas Cup is perfect for any student who is interested in computers and technology. It will give them a taste of Thomas College as well,” said Thomas College Professor of Information Technology Management Dr. Frank Appunn, in a news release from the college. “Competitors will need more than just technical skills to succeed. The best teams will combine a mix of project management, innovation, creativity, teamwork, leadership, and more in order to overcome the challenges and defeat their opponents.”
