The contestants will receive a packet that includes instructions to the written test and each of the two projects. Each project’s specifications are written for Visual Basic, Java, C#, C++ and RPG. The projects will be saved on the Desktop in a folder called “SkillsUSA Contestant#_.” All projects will be downloaded to a jump drive or diskette (whichever the student prefers) and transferred to a main station to be printed, both code and screen.
