CIT - Day 2
The first sessions I attended this AM concerned encouraging community colleges to enter teams in the yearly ACM programming competition. The presenter mentioned that community colleges are not well represented. He has been entering his students for the past 4 or 5 years and preps them to shoot for coming away in the top 90%, understanding that they are competing against college seniors and graduate students. He provided quite a lot of good info and I will look at this possibility. I don’t see a single community college represented in the
