Hendrix Programming Team
I coach the Hendrix programming team, which typically competes in the ACM ICPC (in the Mid-Central USA region) and the CCSC Mid-South programming contest each year. Teams from Hendrix have placed either first or second in the CCSC Mid-South contest for the last four years in a row.
For the spring 2019 semester, we hold a weekly practice every Wednesday from 4:30-6pm, in the MARS Lab (MC Reynolds 316).
Anyone with programming experience (i.e. if you have taken CSCI 150 or its equivalent) is welcome. Each week I will select three problems to focus on at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels, so there is something for everyone regardless of skill level.
