For Students* - IBM Master the Mainframe Contest
This fall semester, IBM is running the Master the Mainframe Contest for college and university students across the U.S. and Canada (excluding Quebec).
No experience with mainframes is necessary. In fact, the contest is designed
for students with little or no mainframe experience, increasing with difficulty
as the contest progresses. Students just need to bring drive and competitive
spirit and they will be ready to compete.
