After a period of inactivity, the Society of Competitive Programmers (SCP) is BACK! Come meet our new E-Board, learn what we’re building this semester, and help us bring the joy back to programming (competitive programming included).

At the Kick-Off, you’ll be able to:
🚀 Hear about our new mission, direction, and upcoming events (and what you'll gain from joining)
🤝 Meet the E-Board and hear a few words from our Advisor, Dr. Mauricio
🍔 Enjoy food and get SCP-exclusive T-shirts
🎮 Play a fun Kahoot! and win even more prizes!

We welcome students from all majors and academic years. Whether you love programming or just think coding will help you in your future career, you’ll fit right in.

Here’s what’s coming this semester:
🧠 Coding workshops to build your programming foundations
🏁 Weekly contests to sharpen problem-solving and speed
💼 Mock technical interviews to help you prep for LeetCode-style interviews
💻 Competitive build challenges where you can flex your skills (like a hackathon, with a focus on data structures & algorithms application)

Join us for the return of SCP. Be part of the community, and let’s have fun coding.
Food Provided (Popcorn Chicken, Sandwiches, Fruits, Brownies, and drinks!)
