Canadian Computing Competition
By Mr. Alfred Lu, Computer Science Teacher
On February 19, eleven students participated in the Canadian Computing Competition. The University of Waterloo organizes this extremely challenging and difficult competition. Students are given three hours to code solutions to five problems.
The competition pushes students to problem solve in creative and thoughtful ways, taxing their critical thinking skills and logical processing abilities tremendously. The post-competition discussion of the problems was also enriching and invigorating.
Official results will be released later this year.
Here’s a sample coding problem from the competition: Given two rectangles of different sizes, what is the smallest perimeter possible when you put them together?

Since 1996, West Point Grey Academy has gratefully resided on the Jericho Lands, the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam Indian Band), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) Nation and sə̓lílwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nation. Honoured to learn and play on these beautiful lands, we endeavour to be a leader in Indigenous education. In creating shared understanding and opportunities, we hope to help foster a more equitable society for all.
