After months of preparation and a new laboratory being sorted specifically for the task... yesterday we had our first ICPC training session at UHV room UC201A + ZOOM meeting.
ICPC is the International Collegiate Programming Contest. The single most prestigious programming competition worldwide. Teams of three students sharing a computer trying to solve the most problems in 5 hours.
It involves problems in several domains: algorithms and programming fundamentals, data structures, strings, searching & sorting, number theory, combinatorics, computational geometry, grids, dynamic programming, backtracking, arithmetic & algebra, and graphs.
The goal of our weekly training sessions is to foment students to improve themselves in terms of programming, so to form teams to participate in the actual competition that takes place every November.
If you are a student at UHV (from any major) wanting to improve your own programming skills, even if you can't or doesn't want to compete, just to program, come join us!
Our training sessions take place every Thursday starting 2PM at room UC 201A in Victoria campus or online via Zoom.
Hope to see you there!
Coach Rogerio da Silva
