Dalhousie Programming Contest for high school students

Dalhousie Programming Contest for High-school students 2011 is a programming contest designed to provide a computer programming challenge for high school and junior high school students. The contest is open to students of younger age as well.

In addition to being a contest for students who already learned programming in class or independently, it is an educational contest, aimed at helping any interested students to learn programming through a sequence of exercises of increasing difficulty.

The contest consists of two phases. In the first phase, the problems are posted on-line and the students submit solutions electronically. The solutions are judged, and the results are sent to participants. The second phase is an on-site competition, held at the Dalhousie University on Friday, May 13, 2011, from 10am to 2pm.

Prizes

The prizes will be given for the on-site competition at the Dalhousie University. The First Prize is a Laptop Computer. Prizes for the second and third place will be provided as well.

Research in Motion (RIM, www.rim.com) is the main sponsor of the competition.
