DECA Virtual Competition Platform
The DECA VCP development team is working alongside Microsoft mentors to create an online platform to facilitate Washington DECA conferences. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this student organization has been forced to find a remote alternative for the competitive live conferences it holds every year. DECA's current solution to this huge roadblock is to provide event specifications online, and then request student presentation teams submit pre-recordings of their performances for judge evaluation. Though this solution does allow for online DECA events, it fails to facilitate the collaboration and competitive environment that live events bring to students.
That is where we come in. Our team is set to build an online environment that can emulate live DECA conferences to the best of our ability. Our team is working to bring value and excitement to virtual DECA conferences that will motivate students dealing with the lack of in-person engagement. Additionally, high scalability of our solution would allow schools in areas too far from DECA conference locations to tune in virtually and participate for the first time. |
