Our Challenge

In collaboration with external companies, students engage in authentic algorithmic challenges inspired by real-world computational problems. They are required to design, implement, and optimize algorithmic solutions using an imperative language (C/C++), striving to achieve the highest efficiency and correctness under given constraints. Through this process, students apply theoretical knowledge to open-ended tasks, compare alternative approaches, and justify design choices based on empirical performance. The activity develops problem-solving autonomy, critical evaluation of efficiency trade-offs, and teamwork skills, preparing students to face real computational and industrial contexts. The challenge is managed by a web server, where students can submit their solutions, that are automatically validated and compared with the solutions provided by other participants.
