During each session\u00a0of\u00a0the\u00a0virtual\u00a0camp,\u00a0student teams\u00a0work through simulated world-level competitions and receive feedback and analysis of their performance from trainers with proven experience and success on the global stage.<\/p>\n<p>The trainers are from Carnegie Mellon University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Alberta, University of California-San Diego and University of Texas, as well as technology companies Google and\u00a0Impira.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn institutionalized approach toward algorithmic problem-solving and its associated activities is long overdue in North America,\u201d says Richard Peng, an assistant professor in Georgia Tech\u2019s College of Computing and lead trainer. \u201cThis camp is providing, in the short term, a new resource for all the participating teams, and in the longer term, a starting point for the development of a community for students and instructors focusing on algorithmic problem-solving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The goal is to prepare camp attendees for the\u00a02020\u00a0ICPC World Finals, where the top\u00a0130 three-person teams will compete after advancing from regional or national contests among 15,000 teams from hundreds of universities around the globe. Originally planned for June in Moscow, the world contest may be held later this year due to the global pandemic.<\/p>\n<h2>Preparing for the Global Stage<\/h2>\n<p>This week\u2019s camp\u00a0attendees\u00a0represent the top-ranked student teams in North America who will compete in the world contest. Their ranking was\u00a0determined after\u00a0competing among 59 teams\u00a0in the ICPC North America Programming Competition hosted by Georgia Tech on Feb. 22, the first time a\u00a0championship-level\u00a0programming\u00a0competition was held\u00a0for the entire continent. Previously in North America, teams advanced to world finals after winning regional contests in the United States and Canada.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe camp has been a fantastic opportunity to train with the greatest ICPC teams in North America.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2014 David Harmeyer<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In the competitions, teams try to solve eight or more complex, real-world problems in a five-hour time limit. Teammates collaborate around a single computer using logic, strategy and endurance that requires precision, problem-solving and an understanding of advanced algorithms. They try to solve the most problems in the fewest attempts in the least cumulative time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a very good idea to add the additional level [North America Championship] between the regional and\u00a0world\u00a0finals,\u201d\u00a0says Ali\u00a0Orooji, UCF Programming Team faculty advisor. \u201cIt was good\u00a0for teams to\u00a0see how\u00a0they\u00a0compare against other universities in North America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A UCF team of three computer science majors <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/ucf-programming-team-earns-bronze-at-north-american-competition-advances-to-world-finals\/\">took bronze in North America to earn an exclusive spot in the World Finals<\/a>. UCF has competed in the World Finals for\u00a0the past seven consecutive years, achieving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/pegasus\/the-strategists\/\">its\u00a0best rank of No. 1 in North America and No. 10 in\u00a0the world in 2018<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe camp has been a fantastic opportunity to train with the greatest ICPC teams in North America,\u201d says David Harmeyer, one of the three UCF students who will compete on the university\u2019s world finals team. \u201cIt&#8217;s helpful that the camp is\u00a0led\u00a0by trainers who are really good at competitive programming themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Sharpening the Competitive Edge<\/h2>\n<p>Seay, who was a driving force to add the championship\u00a0and the\u00a0training camp, says the United States and Canada need to be more competitive in computer science, both in student competitions and in the high-tech workforce.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWith the need for more computing talent across the country, it is our responsibility to groom the leaders of tomorrow in computer science and related areas.\u201d<br \/>\n\u2014 Beverly Seay<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cWith the need for more computing talent across the country, it is our responsibility to groom the leaders of tomorrow in computer science and related areas,\u201d says\u00a0Seay.\u00a0\u201cWe need to be more competitive internationally and invest in events that give our students opportunities to showcase their best skills to industry and government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jeff Donahoo, Baylor University computer science professor and executive director of the ICPC World Finals, agrees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the almost 20 years that I\u2019ve been involved in the ICPC, I\u2019ve seen the strongest performances by teams where investment in training and practice is prioritized. The top teams have typically attended at least one camp,\u201d he says. \u201cThe teams from North America are already competitive at the ICPC World Finals. This camp is a great way to assist the North America teams in their quest to win this world-level Battle of the Brains.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>Supporting the Next Generation of Computing Talent<\/h2>\n<p>While this year\u2019s camp had to be adapted to an online format, organizers say they plan to continue growing this initiative to prepare more teams to compete in the top tier among their international peers \u2014 leading the way for a greater North American footprint in the computing field for many years to come.<\/p>\n<p>To offset the costs for attendees, the camp\u00a0is\u00a0sponsored by Universal Parks and Resorts, the National Security Agency, L3Harris Technologies, Northrop Grumman and others that have an interest in recruiting the nation\u2019s brightest computer science students.<\/p>\n<p>The camp\u00a0is intended to\u00a0provide companies and agencies opportunities to\u00a0get to know and\u00a0recruit\u00a0top computing\u00a0students\u00a0for future job or internships.\u00a0With the change to the online training camp format, sponsors have been provided participants\u2019 resumes.<\/p>\n<p>Universal Parks and\u00a0Resorts, a major employer in Orlando, invested in the North America Programming Camp as a premier sponsor to support the next generation of computing talent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe understand the importance\u00a0of technology to the future of\u00a0our community and our business,\u201d says\u00a0UCF Trustee John Sprouls, executive vice president and chief administrative officer for Universal Parks &amp; Resorts.\u202f\u201cWe want to strongly\u00a0support STEM education and programs that motivate and recognize highly talented tech students.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The first camp of its kind, the program will help prepare students in the United States and Canada for the annual world competition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":40,"featured_media":108105,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"lazy_load_responsive_images_disabled":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":"","_wp_rev_ctl_limit":""},"categories":[5,24],"tags":[18104,9004,18127,973,2297,8958],"tu_author":[],"class_list":["post-108103","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-colleges","category-science-technology","tag-academic-excellence","tag-ali-orooji","tag-beverly-seay","tag-college-of-engineering-and-computer-science","tag-innovation","tag-ucf-programming-team"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>UCF Hosts Virtual-of-its-kind Programming Training Camp<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The program will help prepare elite programming students in the United States and Canada for the annual world competition.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/ucf-hosts-virtual-training-camp-for-north-americas-elite-computing-students\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"UCF Hosts Virtual Training Camp for North America\u2019s Elite Computing Students\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The program will help prepare elite programming students in the United States and Canada for the annual world competition.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/ucf-hosts-virtual-training-camp-for-north-americas-elite-computing-students\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"University of Central Florida News | UCF Today\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UCF\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-04-02T13:53:26+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-06-11T14:51:55+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2020\/04\/ucf-programming-camp-2020.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"800\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Laura J.
