Over the weekend local students gathered virtually with ODU and WHRO Public Media staff for the 36th annual Great Computer Challenge (GCC). Congratulations to all the winners!

The GCC is a joint project of WHRO, the Consortium for Interactive Instruction and Old Dominion University that provides an opportunity to recognize student achievement, foster teamwork and introduce students to a college environment. Teams of students compete in categories such as Desktop Publishing, Object-Oriented Business Programming, Graphic and Web Design, Music Composition, Video Editing and more. Categories were a bit limited this year due to the event having to be virtual, but students still enjoyed the opportunity to test their skills.
