Website Update and ITO 2026
Hello everyone!
We’re excited to share that the ISEAGE blog website is being actively updated again, with more consistent content and announcements coming your way. This is part of our effort to better support and connect with the CDC community.
That being said, registration for the ITO CDC 2026 is now officially open. The competition will take place on April 25, 2026, from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
We’re looking forward to another great competition and hope to see you there!
ISU2 2020 Coronavirus Updates
As many of you have heard, Iowa State is moving to online only from March 27th to April 3rd. During this time, the university is disallowing large, in-person events. This, of course, causes some problems for the CDC. We believe that the CDC is a valuable learning experience, and just plain fun, and so we have decided to move to an online CDC format for this event.
We are still working on exactly how this will look, and will be updating this page over the next few weeks with the relevant information. In the meantime, our normal services will remain online, however the lab jams are canceled going forward.
To keep up to date, check this page, and follow us on Twitter.
As always, feel free to reach out with questions/concerns at cdc_support@iseage.org, or chat with us at setup.iseage.org.
