Two Grove City College teams will compete in the regional portion of the 36th annual IBM-sponsored Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) International Collegiate Programming Contest Oct. 21-22, at Youngstown State University. Students will seek to apply their programming skills while maintaining mental endurance to solve complex, real world problems within a challenging five-hour deadline.
Grove City College students competing in the event are seniors Gregory Miller and Shane Rose, junior Edward Quigley and sophomores Philip Edwards, Gideon Ludwig and Mark Schrecengost. Freshmen Zachary Wheeler and Ethan Johnson will also travel with the teams as alternates.
Regional competitions have attracted tens of thousands of students from approximately 90 countries on six continents competing for a chance to win the “World’s Smartest Trophy.” The top 100 teams will have the opportunity to compete in Warsaw, Poland, May 14-18, 2012, for the World Finals.
The ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest, also known as the “Battle of the Brains,” seeks to foster creativity, teamwork and innovation in building new software programs and enables students to test their ability to perform under pressure. The contest is the oldest, largest and most prestigious programming contest in the world.
