Area Students Compete in Tri-State Math and Computer Science Olympiad

Dothan, Ala. – Wallace Community College hosted the 31st Annual Tri-State Math and Computer Science Olympiad at the Wallace Campus in Dothan on Friday, March 1. Approximately 865 area students and 60 high school instructors from Alabama, Georgia, and Florida attended. Wallace Community College hosts the annual event to create interest in math and computer science and to recognize student accomplishments in these competitive fields.

The event, themed “Mathematics and Computer Science: Helping Society Prepare for the Future,” recognized the role that mathematics and computer science play in predictions and astronomy. Both mathematics and computer science are heavily involved in calculating predictions and monitoring the sun’s cycles. NASA’s prediction of solar flares and the impact on our planet was the basis for this year’s Olympiad theme.

Post Your Fishing Tournaments at OutdoorAlabama.com

Fishing tournament organizers are encouraged to post their tournaments in the fishing section of the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) website. To post an event, click here. This tournament listing is a free service of the Alabama Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries (WFF).

“The posting does not reserve the facilities where the tournament actually takes place, but it does provide publicity for the event,” said Damon Abernethy, WFF Fisheries Development Coordinator. “The event listing also allows boaters, anglers and other tournament organizers to see when and where tournaments are being held so they can plan their trips or events ahead of time and reduce congestion at the boat ramps.”

Events with more than 100 boats require a free permit from the Alabama Marine Police Division.
