The University of Arkansas High School Programming Contest is an annual programming competition hosted by the department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in the College of Engineering in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The contest has been a department tradition since 2006, and has grown significantly in size every year.

The High School Programming Contest is a challenging and fun opportunity for high school students to improve their programming skills. The event encourages the development of creative problem-solving and communication skills as students work with their teammates to generate solutions to programming problems.

All High School students in and around the state of Arkansas are invited and encouraged to attend. Every competitor will receive a prize, win or lose!

In the first Saturday of each month, Best Friends Animal Society is bringing fun with furry friends to The Momentary! As part of The Momentary’s new Community Meetups series launching this March, the first “Dog Days with Best Friends” event will give members of the community the chance to spend time with adorable, adoptable dogs from the Best Friends Pet Resource Center in Bentonville.

This special meetup invites everyone—from those currently fostering a dog through Best Friends, to proud adopters, potential adopters, and anyone who simply enjoys spending time with adorable pups. This will be a warm, relaxed gathering where pet lovers can connect, share stories, sip coffee, and enjoy some canine company in a friendly community space. Free coffee will be provided by Third Space from 9 a.m. - 10 a.m.

For everyone’s comfort and safety, all dogs are asked to remain on leashes while mingling.

The Machine Behind the Art: Inside JR’s Printing Press is one of JR’s most extensive immersive and experiential works to date. After taking portraits in one of three individual photo booths, visitors enter the interior of an oversized, whirring printing press – turning their image into a tangible work of art while offering a glimpse into the creative process of JR. After the experience, visitors leave with their own, one-of-a-kind print.

Timed portrait tickets are $20 (Free for members), reserve your timeslot online or with the Box Office at (479) 657-2335.
Timed portrait tickets include one oversized photo portrait and admission for up to three people. Digital copies of your photo will be available after your visit.
If you do not plan on taking a portrait during your visit, no purchase is required to attend The Machine Behind the Art: Inside JR’s Printing Press.

This peaceful and nonviolent action is hosted by Indivisible NWA. We continue to show up and bear witness to our elected federal officials. (Sen. Cotton and Rep. Womack have offices nearby, but this action is also directed to Sen. Boozman.) Meet on the sidewalks near the roundabout at Pinnacle Hills and West Northgate. Stay out of the middle of the roundabout. We will have marshals (peacekeepers). Rain or shine, but be weather aware.

Sign suggestions: NO KINGS! KING FREE SINCE 1776! THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE! NO THRONES! NO CROWNS! NO KINGS!

A core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.

This is a family, wallet-friendly event held on the spacious acreage of Springfield Ranch in downtown Cane Hill. There is a hospitality tent where food can be purchased (benefiting the Friends of Prairie Grove Pound) or people are welcome to bring picnic lunches. Buy your kites here, you will not find a better selection of price. The 50 cent raffle (so called because each person may only purchase one fifty cent ticket) gives away a large nylon kite at 1:00, 2:00 and 3:00 (must be present to win). In addition there are numerous small prizes awarded during the day for tongue-in-cheek categories. After the 2:00 drawing there is contest for kids only to guess how many armadillo holes we had to fill in to make the flying area safe. Fun is guaranteed! In case of rain or snow there is a fall back date of March 14. Like us on Facebook and see pictures from years past and updates.
