Hello,

I’m emailing with details of a competition that I think would be of 
interest to your members.

Software company AdaCore has just launched the Make with 
Ada<http://www.makewithada.org/> programming competition, which offers over 
€8,000 in total prizes.

Make with Ada is looking for individuals and small teams to develop open, 
inventive, reliable and collaborative embedded software projects, using the 
Ada or SPARK programming languages and ARM Cortex M or R processors.

Open to all enthusiasts, entrants can create any type of project they want, 
with potential examples including robots, drones or Internet of Things 
devices. There is plenty of information on the competition, and how to 
develop in the standardised Ada language, including tutorials, on the Make 
with Ada website<http://www.makewithada.org/>, http://www.makewithada.org/ 
along with examples of previous projects. Entrants can also register on the 
website.

The winning project (which can be created by a team or an individual) will 
win 5000 euros, with second and third prizes of 2000 and 1000 euros 
respectively. The competition has just opened and runs until 30 September 
2016. There is no entry fee.

I’d be grateful if you could share the news of this competition with your 
members. I’ve attached a flyer that can be printed/distributed and you can 
download banners from http://www.makewithada.org/resources.

if you’d like more information don’t hesitate to visit the 
http://www.makewithada.org/ website or drop me a line.

Thanks in advance

Chris
