Dear Professor Garcia,

Let your students know that the 2014 Pearson Student Coding Contest is officially open for students to
sign up now. Learn more and access files you can share to help spread the word. The Pearson Student
Coding Contest is designed to reward contestants who develop relevant, innovative, creative, functional,
and original applications that integrate with the Pearson APIs. The 2014 contest is open and limited to
students who are enrolled in an undergraduate institution within the United States and Canada (excluding
Quebec, sorry!).

CONTEST DETAILS

This year, our contest theme is efficacy. We invite contestants to join us on our path to ensuring the
