Engage in Exciting Problems
The CS@Mines High School Programming Competition is a competition for high school students to write programs that solve problems.
Our programming competition is modelled after well-known college-level competitions such as ICPC, but we make an inviting set of problems suitable for high school students.
Starting in the 2024 competition, we will have three tracks, in the form of in-person beginner and advanced competitions, and an open to anyone, all difficulty virtual division.
