            <h2>IEEE CIS Student Competition</h2>
            <h3>2017-Edition</h3>
            <h3>Telling a Story:  How your Computational Intelligence Research benefits society and Humanity </h3>

            <p style="padding-top:10px">
               We are pleased to announce the 2016 Edition of the CIS Interactive Web Learning Systems
               Competition designed to encourage IEEE CIS student members to develop Web-based Applications
               to teach elements of fuzzy logic, neural networks, genetic algorithms or any other 
               computational intelligence (CI) topic to young people (ages 14-16) or to non-subject-specialist
               professionals.
               <p>
               The application should cover the teaching of any of the above aspects of CI. It may also be an
               interactive demo to solve a real life problem, such as the
               <a href=http://cis.ieee.org/component/content/article/5-education-content/535-evolutionary-computation-demo.html>Knapsack Problem</a>.
               Actually, this problem has very important "real-life" applications, as it was recently shown by
               the MythBusters in a recent episode on 
               <a href=http://www.discovery.com/tv-shows/mythbusters/videos/video-games-special-trailer/>First-Person Shooters Games</a>:
               so, optimizing the Knapsack problem with respect to what weapon should you carry can give you
               "real-life" advantage in video gaming.   &#9786

               <p>
               The Student Competition is jointly organized by the IEEE CIS Student
               Activities and the IEEE CIS Competitions Sub-committees.
