the ICPC programming competition is a very old world-wide programming competition for undergraduates. it was around when i went to school! i was on our school's programming team. (yay miami university!) we didn't do that great, but it was a fun experience, and i learned a lot of programming techniques.

we have competed for years now, after a long break. check out the 2022 teams, 2021 teams2020 teams and the 2019 teams.

we are always recruiting new members! they key requirement is that you are an undergraduate.
