How to create, host, and successfully run a high school programming contest

In this workshop, we will describe the numerous processes and tasks involved in successfully hosting a high school programming contest. We will describe the mechanics of running the contest using PC^2, within the logistics of a college campus environment. We will talk about the logistics necessary to support the number of high schools and teams (currently we involve 15+ high schools and over 60 4-person teams). Finally, we will describe our local chapter of CSTA, which strengthens bonds and connections between ourselves and the school's coaches and advisors.
