Competitive Programming Club at The Ohio State University tries to challenge students to get really really good at problem solving. There is a very low entry barrier to getting started. Our meetings will introduce fun twists on classical algorithms, and provide interesting problems to work on your problem-solving abilities. Many recruits find the difficulty barrier daunting, but after continued exposure, problems that used to seem impossible will seem almost trivial!
If you are interested, join our discord to stay updated and come to our weekly meetings!
The Competitive Programming Club at Ohio State ("CPC") is aimed at supporting students to participate in programming contests, and other events including hackathons, research, and open-source.
Anyone can come to meetings, but to be considered an official member and get relevant benefits, you will need to commit to coming to at least 4 meetings per semester and fill out a membership form.
We hold weekly meetings in Fall and Spring semesters. We also host the yearly ICPC qualifier round and our own contest called, Buckeye Programming Competition. Finally, we gather groups and discuss competitions such as Google Hash Code, Google Code Jam, Meta Hacker Cup, Battlecode, and CMIMC.
Weekly Meetings + Programming Contests
You will need to bring personal devices to code on.
We register students for the annual ICPC competition season. See our ICPC history for more details.
We also host our annual Buckeye Programming Competition (BPC) on our own site called: Buckeye Code
