It focused primarily on problem-solving and creative thinking under time constraints and pressure. It was a truly amazing experience.”
Ranesh: “It was a really fun and friendly environment. I had a blast. I would definitely want to do the competition again next year.”
Scott: “I thought it was an interesting mix of programming, puzzles and even tower building.”
Alex: “Our team was very well balanced and our EngPhys background allowed us to exceed in all challenges rather than just a few!”
Bardia: “We are really proud of this achievement, first and foremost because of winning a Computer Science targeted and organized competition as an Engineering Physics team.”
Ricky: “The games were a fun and challenging mental workout and we can’t wait to compete again next year!”
