A comment (slightly edited) from one of the judges about the event:
Thank you very much for the opportunity to judge this year's Com. Sci. day. It was an extraordinary event and an honor to be invited. I enjoyed interacting with the students and it was great to see their enthusiasm. Please tell them that their work was very impressive and they should all be very proud of what they did. They should also make sure they highlight this on their resume - it showed great initiative, the desire to take risks and to defend their work in front of complete strangers. These are all great skills to have and to boast about on their resume.
