Columbia Competitive Programming

Columbia Competitive Programming brings together students who enjoy solving challenging algorithmic problems and competing as a team. Through courses, regular practice, training camps, and contests, students develop their problem-solving skills and prepare to represent Columbia in the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC).

We welcome students of all experience levels, from those entering their first programming contest to experienced competitors preparing for regional and international competition. Our community offers opportunities to learn, practice, and work through difficult problems together.

Coaching Team
