    The ITA Tech Challenge initiative is a programming and coding skills competition focused on developing and retaining tech talent in Illinois. The goal of the program is to ensure the best tech talent stays in the Midwest to help drive our industry forward for decades to come.

    On November 4th and 5th the top 50 out of 767 computer science students who took the qualifying exam will come to Chicago for the final challenge. Last year 450 students participated. In addition to competing for a cash prize, students will also have the opportunity to interview with local Chicago tech companies. This year's 50 finalists include representatives from 15 schools including local universities like Northwestern, University of Illinois and University of Chicago. But also includes students from Georgia Tech, University of Michigan and Carnegie Mellon.
