QU Team Secures 3rd Place in ICPC Programming Competition, Earns Ticket to Egypt

The team receiving the award

In an impressive showing of skills and determination, a team of students from Qatar University has secured the third spot in the highly competitive Qatar Collegiate Programming Contest (QCPC), part of the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC). Often regarded as the “Programming World Cup,” ICPC challenges teams to tackle algorithmic problems and devise programming solutions. The accomplished team, composed of Aly Soliman, Mohamed Fauzan, and Omar Elshenhabi, demonstrated remarkable programming skills and problem-solving abilities, earning them their place in the regional competition. Their achievement is a testament to their hard work and dedication in the field of programming.

The national stage of the competition (QCPC), hosted at Carnegie Mellon University-Qatar, provided a platform for teams across Qatar to go for a chance to advance to the regional level. This event served as a qualifying round for the Africa and Arab Regional Competition (ACPC), scheduled to be held in Egypt’s Sharm El Sheikh end of this year.

As they prepare to represent Qatar on the regional stage, the students are poised to compete among the top talents in the region. While they secured third place nationally, Qatar University takes pride in their accomplishment, and we eagerly anticipate their performance in Egypt. We extend our best wishes to the team and their coach, Hamza Saleh , as they prepare for the next phase of the ICPC.

Stay tuned for updates on their journey through the competition!
