Hello Codeforks!
The Harker Upper School's Programming Club would love to invite middle school and high schoolers to our Girls Programming League (GPL) 2024 virtual competitive programming contest on Saturday, September 21 from 9:00 AM to 1:30 PM PST (UTC-7).
The Girls Programming League is a one-day event comprising a programming contest, panel discussion, and awards. The goal of this event is to inspire and empower women to participate in computer science, technology, and AI. Our theme this year is “Computer Science and Astronomy.” As these fields grow increasingly intertwined,
There will be two divisions: novice and advanced. The contest is open to all female/nonbinary middle and high school students. Students can form teams of up to 3. We will also be awarding monetary prizes, in the form of Amazon gift cards, to the top 3 teams of each division.
We'll also be featuring a panel of industry professionals in computer science and astronomy. Our speakers this year include:
Christina Li, 2x USACO Finalist, 2023 United States EGOI team member and Silver Medalist,
Chloe Ma, Vice President of China Go-To-Market in Arm's IOT Line of Business,
Dr. Kim Hazelwood, Senior Director of AI Research and Engineering at Meta,
