Brainstorm Dev Network

To promote and invigorate the computer science and digital media development scene, first at the University of Technology, Jamaica and Jamaica at large.
The BrainStorm Dev Net (BSDN) is a project of RoaringSteed. We see there is a need to help develop the young minds of Jamaica and want to do our part in this process. The BrainStorm Sprints are a series of compendious, creative, challenges, designed to test both knowledge and skill in computing.

We have been using it on a few projects over the summer and recommend that you give it some attention. Here is a link to a very thorough beginners guide:
