Purpose

Optimize your life - our goal is to build a supportive community where students can effectively practice competitive programming together, whilst utilizing knowledges into real life application. Competitive programming is challenging to get started with but highly rewarding to continue, as it develops strong logical thinking and problem-solving skills. By fostering these skills, we aim to enhance the reputation of the Razorbacks community. At the same time, through this acitivity, we anticipate to break the stereotype of technology as an isolating pursuit.

We will hold weekly sessions that include:

• Lightning talks (LTs) to share strategies and passions.
• Reviewing and discussing problems from recent online contests.
• Solving custom-made problems designed for non-coders, with themes based on on-campus experiences.

In the long term, we aim to help members pursue personal projects by providing team-building opportunities, shared resources, and mentorship. Additionally, if members are interested, we are open to participating in the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) to represent the Razorbacks on a larger stage.
