About ICPC
“Participating in ICPC is one of the most exciting and fruitful things I have ever been involved in. It sharpened my problem-solving skills and enhanced my ability to work under pressure, plus it is a good opportunity to do networking.” – Rodrigo Santamaria, ICPC Programming Contest Participant
Contestants in the North Central North America region (NCNA) compete for bragging rights as top collegiate programmers. Teams at the top of the heap will advance to the contest's North American Championship (NAC) where they will compete to go to the World Finals.
The NCNA region includes Minnesota, Wisconsin, Western Ontario, Manitoba, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, and the UP of Michigan.
As it is difficult to require all teams to travel to a single contest site, faculty and students at a number of schools across the region volunteer to operate their own contest sites. Iowa State University is proud to be one of the contest sites for the NCNA region.
One or more of the top teams in the region will travel to the NAC. It promises to be a memorable event for the participants.
