Hello Codeforces! TeamsCode is excited to announce the TeamsCode Summer 2024 Virtual Programming Contest! It will take place on Sunday, July 28 from 11:15 AM to 5:30 PM Pacific Time / 2:15 PM to 8:30 PM Eastern Time.

Teams of up to 4 members will have 3 hours to solve around 10 problems. The problem difficulties will range from Div 2. A to Div 1. F. There are two divisions: Novice and Advanced, so no matter what skill level you are, there is a place for you.

We will be featuring guest speakers Roman Bohuk, the co-founder and CEO of MetaCTF, a cyber skills platform that helps companies assess, recruit, and upskill cyber talent, and Jun Qian, a seasoned executive with over 25 years of experience in pioneering innovation in AI and machine learning at global tech giants like Oracle, Microsoft, and Amazon, from 3 to 5 PM. The schedule is shown below:

Our prize pool for winners of the Novice and Advanced divisions is over $1,500! Only pre-college participants are eligible for placement prizes; however, anyone may participate in the contest. The prizes include Amazon gift cards, Interview Cake Licenses, and more! Placement prizes are given to each team member (e.g. everyone on the 1st place advanced team will receive $100 and an Interview Cake License).

The prize list is shown below. There will also be additional raffle prizes.
