Launch Recap - April 1, 2026

Our inaugural high school contest was a great success.

Thanks to the dedication of the organizing team, coaches, volunteers, and participating schools, the contest ran smoothly and provided an excellent first competitive experience for many students. Our staff handled logistics, problem preparation, and scoring with great care and their collaboration made the launch possible.

We expect a gradual increase in participation as word spreads and more schools register in the coming months. If your school was not represented this year, please consider registering for future events. We welcome new teams and will continue to improve the experience each year.
