However, the end of the year competition which iscalled IT-Olympics downplays the competitiveness in an effort to make the whole experienceenjoyable. The target audience for this project is high school students, especially those studentswho previously have not exhibited an interest in studying IT. The authors have found thatcollaborative real-time challenges where teams from different schools are required to shareresources and join forces on design challenges are very successful. The students exhibit moresocial interaction after these collaborative real-time challenges and this adds to the "party"atmosphere of the entire competition
