U of A High School Programming Contest; save the date: registration closes Feb. 9.
The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science will host this year's annual High School Programming Contest on March 9. High school students from across Arkansas will gather at the U of A to compete in the exciting problem-solving and programming event. These talented students will challenge each other using their skills in the C, C++, Java or Python3 programming languages.
Students interested in participating should contact their high school teachers to register in teams of three. Registration, which closes Feb. 9, can be done at hspc.uark.edu.
In the past, hundreds of students have squared off in the all-day problem-solving event. Professor Kevin Jin, who organizes this contest alongside Electrical Engineering and Computer Science staff, is excited to bring the traditions of the previous Computer Science and Computer Engineering Department back to life.
This event is an opportunity to promote the U of A, get high schoolers interested in programming and encourage students to think critically about solving problems in programming. Students interested in volunteering at this event should reach out to the Association for Computing Machinery.
The contest will be held in J.B. Hunt Transport Services Inc. Center for Academic Excellence on campus. Students who participate will receive door prizes and a free T-shirt with registration, as well as the opportunity to win trophies, prizes and newfound programming knowledge.
Those interested in sponsoring the event may still do so by contacting hspc@csce.uark.edu. More information about the contest can be found at hspc.csce.uark.edu.
