TechStart is proud to co-host the 2010 Willamette University-TechStart High School Programming Contest.  The contest is open to teams from Oregon and other northwest regional high schools—a team may include up to four students. Any common languages may be used (Java, C, C#, Python, etc.); teams may be asked to supply a computer system for judging.

High School students work as a team on their computer to generate correct solutions to a set of problems; the set will include twelve to fourteen problems. Each problem solved correctly by the team earns points for the team. The team with the highest total score wins. There will be trophies (suitable for display at school!) for the top three teams and the best-scoring novice team!  Download complete contest rules.

 

8:30 AM	Teams arrive/set up
9:45 AM	Review contest procedures, clarify rules, and familiarize teams with logistics
10:00 AM	Contest begins!
3:00 PM	Deadline for solution submission, followed by award ceremony

 

We are always excited to have new teams involved and encourage you to get a team together and join us! We award a trophy every year to the team with the best score among novice teams (those who have never participated, or after a long absence, under a new teacher).

Although some of the problems in the contest are quite difficult, we also ensure that there are some easy-to-solve problems on the list every year.
