Area high schools entered six teams of students in the Third Annual Programming Contest hosted by the Queen’s School of Computing and held on March 30, in co-operation with the Limestone District School Board, and the Algonquin & Lakeshore District Catholic School Board. The contest consisted of a set of four programming problems which the teams had to try to solve in three hours. The winning team was from St. Theresa Catholic Secondary School of Belleville, coached by Mr. Daniel Tie Ten Quee. The three top teams from the contest will compete at the next level of the Educational Computing Organization of Ontario’s programming contest series later in April. Well done, all!
Organizers for the event were Richard Linley, Doug Wightman and Lynda Moulton from the School of Computing, and Mr. Kerry Haight from the Limestone District School Board.
