Contest Details

We begin the Hack 4 Good weekend with a contest designed for area High School students. Teams of 1-3 students solve 10-12 problems of varying difficulty and upload solutions to our automated live scoring system at this ICPC-inspired event. Our contest judges review results and present final results/awards during lunch.
