About

The High School Programming Contest 2025 is in need of volunteers to work shifts at our all-day event. Please sign up for a time slot that you can commit to. 

The department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Arkansas is pleased to announce the 2025 High School Programming Contest! High school students from across the state are invited to compete in an all-day programming contest hosted at the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville. This contest is FREE to participate in, and competing students will receive a free t-shirt for registering. All students are eligible to win door prizes like gift cards, keyboards, wireless headphones, and more! All participants in the competition will have access to both breakfast and lunch at the competition.

The High School Programming Contest registration is now open until February 7, 2025!

In the past, hundreds of students have squared off in the problem-solving event. This year has a twist! We have made the move from our previous platform to the new CodeChef platform for the contest, allowing contestants the use of programming languages like C, C++ (V14 and v17), Java, and Python3! More information is provided below, but further questions can be directed to our website.
