Over 1,000 projects competed online in the final stage.

It is reported that the China University Students' Computer Design Competition is one of the oldest competitions for undergraduate students in Mainland China. Since 2008, it has been sponsored by the Ministry of Education in association with computer-related teaching committees. It is now one of the foremost national university competitions.
