4 Time Nigeria leading team, the IEEE-OAU Student Branch competes with students all over the world to show case programming skills within a 24-hour non-stop programming marathon (hackathon)! In 2017, the OAU delegation to the IEEEXtreme had 5 teams among the top 10 teams from Nigeria. Benefits to OAU Students: OAU students have the opportunity to put the theoretical concepts they’ve learnt in class into practice, improve algorithmic thinking patterns and boost their self-esteem as they compete with their peers all over the world. The prize for first place globally, is a trip to any IEEE conference of choice in the world.
