How much time commitment is needed to be a team member? |

It takes hard work to be a champion! Our training begins with about ten Saturday practices each during the Fall and Spring semesters. Each practice typically includes a 1-hour lecture, a 1-hour problem review and a 5-hour mock contest.
In addition, team members also meet with their coaches during the week, work on algorithms and other problem solving techniques at home, and work collaboratively with their fellow team members.
All the effort is worth it, however, when we win! You also will reinforce your computer science curriculum and become a better programmer!
Thanks to our generous donors, stipends may be available to cover a large portion of team members' training time. This reduces the need for an off-campus part-time job. Getting paid to write code is more fun than flipping burgers!
