We had 7 student teams participating in the contest trying to solve 8 programming challenges.
The computer science department supported the event by funding the lunch and the awards for the local best teams.
The best team was awarded by one Raspberry Pi3 each and the second team with Amazon vouchers.
We congratulate the winners for their achievement.
