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
