MIHS Spring Programming Competition

Mercer Island High School's TeamsCode will be hosting a programming competition at Mercer Island High School on Saturday, March 31, 2017, from 9:45 am to 3:00 pm.

Teams of 1-3 students will have a 3 hour period to solve as many coding problems as they can using a programming language of their choice (Java, C#, C++, or Python). Internet access is prohibited during the competition though printed resources such as APIs or old code is allowed. Solved problems will be evaluated by a judge and scored for points with the top three teams accumulating the most points at the end winning the grand prizes. Teams must provide their own ONE computer, able to run code on programs like jGrasp or Eclipse, and respective charger for the competition.

Teams are divided between the Intermediate Division and Advanced Division with groups with little experience in programming or are currently in a computer science class in the Intermediate Division and those with more experience or have completed one computer science class in the Advanced Division. There will be three winning teams from each division.

Snacks and pizza from Pagliacci's Pizza will be provided at the event and all team members will have the opportunity to participate in a raffle for prizes totaling up over $500 dollars. Last year's raffle prizes include Amazon Fire Tablets, Raspberry Pi's, and much more (including a very interesting book titled Atypical Girl Geek).

There is an entrance fee of $10 per person, payable to one check. Please contact ihscodeclub@gmail.com or teamscode1@gmail.com if you need this fee to be waived to participate.
