It’s that time of year again. The leaves are changing colors, the temperature is getting cooler, and the Regional Programming Contest (RPC) is about to begin.

The RPC is the first round of team-based programming contests for the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ACM-ICPC). This year, our RPC will happen on October 31 at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor campus. Each year we send two teams of three people to compete for a chance at glory* - and that’s where you come in!

We are holding programming practices every Friday at noon in CIS 139. Each week we pick a different programming problem and attempt to solve it. Usually by the time we have a basic algorithm figured out our minds start to get a little fuzzy, so we refocus them with the help of some FREE PIZZA.

If YOU want to see about joining a team, test your wits, or just hang out and eat pizza, stop by Friday at noon in CIS 139!
