=Sycamore Community Health Initiative=
The goal of the computer science fall project contest is to showcase the types of work that ISU CS students work on. We thank all who submit a project.  This is great experience for you and helps the department show off your work to the outside world.
The university [https://www.indstate.edu/covid/sycamore-community-health-initiative has decided] that as of Jan 1, 2022, all students and employees on campus will need to either upload proof of covid-19 vaccination or regular negative tests (likely weekly or bi-weekly). All indications are that this will indeed be enforced.  The strong preference is that people be vaccinated (just like students have always been required to show proof of a number of other vaccines, including [https://www.indstate.edu/registrar/state-immunization-requirements MMR, Td, Tb, Meningitus]).  


You can be vaccinated '''on campus (as of November, every Tuesday and Thursday 1-4:30pm at the [https://www.indstate.edu/health-center ISU Health Center])''' or '''in the community (you can search for sites [https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/24159814f1dd4f69b6c22e7e87bca65b through the state], or schedule directly with any local pharmacy)'''.  Note that it takes 6-7 weeks from your first shot to be considered fully vaccinated (two weeks after your second dose you are considered fully vaccinated, and the second does is 3-4 weeks after the first).
Awards may be given for the following categories: 100 level coursework, 200 level coursework, 3/4/500 level coursework, 600 level coursework, games, data science, algorithms, teaching.  And if deemed appropriate we may declare a "best" project in some other categories as well.


'''Once you are fully vaccinated, please upload your vaccine card in the ISU portal (look for the Covid-19 Vaccination Record app in the portal).'''
Note that you can submit any of your work.  It can be a project/assignment from a course (at ISU or otherwise), a personal project, something you have done for research, etc.

''Note - articles are added to this lest at the bottom, so least recent is first.  And the list has not been updated since 2020.''
Each submission should be a one page slide (pdf preferred, exported/saved from powerpoint, google slides, etc.). The slide should contain the following information.
