Hello Codeforces!

We would love to invite female and nonbinary-identifying students to our annual Girls Programming League (GPL) Challenge. The GPL Challenge is a half-day event comprising a programming contest, panel discussion, and awards. This year the theme of our contest will be CS & Astronomy. The competition will provide students with the opportunity to solve creative programming problems in either a novice or advanced division, while the panel discussion aims to give insight into the current state of the field from female perspectives. Teams can consist of 1-3 members, and the winning teams will receive awards of up to $100 per team member. Please register at tinyurl.com/gpl2024signup! The problems will be uploaded to Codeforces Gym shortly after the contest.

Our speakers this year include:

  • Dr. Monica Valluri, Research Professor at the University of Michigan’s Department of Astronomy
  • Dr. Maggie Lieu, Senior research fellow in machine learning and cosmology at the University of Nottingham
  • Dr. Jessie Christiansen, Chief Scientist of the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute and TED fellow
  • Katelyn Sweeney, SpaceX on Starlink’s Direct-to-Cell program
