A programming contest held twice a year by a student group at UC Berkeley for students up to 12th grade. Teams of up to three people solve problems online, and the Fall 2026 contest is set for November 8, 2026. Anyone may enter, but only teams of pre-college students can win prizes, and the five highest-scoring teams receive gift cards. An optional in-person site requires a separate registration and a $20 fee, and online registration closes November 1, 2026.
