The Penn State student chapters of the Association for Computing
Machinery (ACM) and the Association of Women in Computing will host
CodePSU, a programming competition, from 1 to 7 p.m. on Oct. 19, in 113
IST Building on the University Park campus.
The contest is free to enter and open to all Penn State undergraduate students.
Gage Ames, ACM president and computer science undergraduate student,
explained, "CodePSU is modeled after the ACM's International Collegiate
Programming Contest. Teams of one to three students attempt to solve 10
problems over several hours. To keep it fair, there will be two tiers of
competitors, divided based on each team's level of experience. Each
tier will have a separate problem packet and teams will only be judged
against teams within their tier. Prizes will be awarded to the top three
teams from each tier."
Ames adds that participating in the contest is a great way for
students to brush up on their programming skills and learn more about
competitive programming.
CodePSU is co-sponsored by Cisco and Microsoft.
