With immense pride, IEEE WIE Ottawa is happy to announce a great achievement
of our webmaster, Ragunath Anbarasu, who has has been selected as a
Section lead for IEEEXtreme 14.0. IEEEXtreme is an annual hackathon and
competitive programming challenge in which
teams of IEEE Student members, often supported by an IEEE Student
Branch and proctored by an IEEE member, compete in 24 hours against each
other to solve a set of programming problems.

Let’s take a glimpse of tasks Ragunath will take up as a Student
Ambassador. In this event,  Ragunath will be reaching out to Colleges,
Universities, IEEE Student Branches, and IEEE Student & Professional
Members to take part in the IEEEXtreme Programming Competition.
He will be coordinating with the organizers in hosting the IEEEXtreme
Programming Competition in their respective student branches and
supporting Non-IEEE Student Branch Members in finding a suitable venue
for participation. He will be extending his help to students looking for support and guidance with information related to
IEEEXtreme and connect them to a professional member.

This is an honoured moment where we have moved a step closer to connect
to the students in the Ottawa region. It’s the moment of glory for the
IEEE WIE Ottawa team, a great example where we see that our talented volunteers
are always heading up and don’t miss any
chance to add those feathers on their hats. #IEEEWIEOttawa
