About The Competition
Since 2005, the UKG Academy of Computer Science and Education has hosted an annual High School Programming Competition that brings together talented students from across South Florida to showcase their programming and problem-solving skills.
See a previously hosted HSPC.
Through challenging programming problems, students strengthen their computational thinking, algorithmic reasoning, and collaboration while exploring careers in computer science. The competition celebrates student achievement and inspires the next generation of innovators.
Teams of three work together to solve as many problems as possible on one shared computer
Solve algorithmic problems within four hours, manage time is important
At least ten questions in a competition. Not in order of difficulty
Top 3 teams in Div 1 & 2 win traveling trophies for their school and medals for every member.
