The IEEEXtreme committee would like to invite proctors for the upcoming competition taking place on 22 October 2022. IEEEXtreme is a global virtual challenge in which teams of IEEE Student members – advised and proctored by an IEEE member, and often supported by an IEEE Student Branch – compete in a 24-hour time span against each other to solve a set of programming problems.

Proctors may monitor up to 20 teams. The IEEEXtreme team has taken into account the potential need for accommodations should teams not be able to participate at the same venue this year. Please refer to the updated rules on the official IEEEXtreme site for more information.

The primary goal of the proctor is to make sure the students are having fun. Additional responsibilities are outlined below:

  • Monitoring the general flow of the activity
  • Informing students when the competition begins, in the middle of it, when there are six hours left, and when one hour of competition remains
  • Ensuring that no one external to the team members helps or assists the student participants in resolving the problems in any way
  • Optional: Spread the word about the competition to help boost participation

Interested individuals may register here.
