Project Overview

The client of this application is DARPA. They have asked TopCoder to build a modern web-portal for education in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM) and especially focused on Computer Science (CS) education. The CS-STEM web-site will be dedicated to middle and high school students in USA and allow them to learn a lot of interesting topics in a user-friendly environment, which at the same time is productive and professional. Users will earn achievements, awards and prizes on the web-site.

We assume CS-STEM portal will be like a new entire TC website, but specially dedicated to attracting and holding the interest of middle-high students (ages of 13...18) in computer science related topics.

The CS-STEM project has a long term set of goal involving the TopCoder community. There will be many competitions related to this, so now's your chance to get involved at the early stages.

This contest will take the provided ARS and wireframe and will design the full functionality for the parent registration, including the ERD, backend code, and the frontend web pages.

The student and parent architectures are done and will be provided. Competitors will be expected to expand on the ERD and functionality in those architectures.

Tips for success Asking questions early and getting PM's feedback is very important for the success of this architecture competition.
