Short Writeup of the ZSEM OC CUP III

Following up on my last post (which honestly got way more attention than I expected xD), I wanted to share how the third edition of the ZSEM OC CUP went. It wrapped up yesterday and it was by far the biggest one yet.

This time it basically turned into a national event. We had students coming from all over Poland and the turnout was insane: the sports hall was completely full the entire day. Compared to last year, we even stepped things up with a proper stage, lighting, and space for presentations and announcements. It actually felt like a real tech event, not just a school competition...

Nice article by Wccftech on an Extreme enthusiast teaching students how to enhance performance of their "daily" hardware.

This event took place in a Polish high school. For that extra motivation the participants could win some nice hardware prizes like a GeForce RTX 4060, an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X CPU and more from the sponsors.

On the 10th of April another similar event will be hosted by Polish OC guru Tomekmak. The HWBOT Link to the ZSEM OC CUP III can be found in the comments section.
