Case Western Reserve University through a partnership between the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department and the Great Lakes Institute for Energy Innovation, is proud to announce the first CWRU Game Project Challenge. This is an exciting competition that interests students in both computer science and wind energy (this year's theme)! The season runs from January to May 2009 with a statewide tournament in Cleveland on the Case Western Reserve University campus on Saturday, May 22.

By creating a great game, students can:

• Win recognition and achievement awards
• Have fun developing a fun game for others to play
• Learn about this year's theme: wind energy issues
• Learn the basics of game development and the underlying computer science
• Work with friends and teammates on a fun, creative project
• Gauge interest in learning more about game development and computer science
