Hi Teachers,
 
Mark your calendars for HPE CodeWars 2024 – Saturday, March 2, 2024!
 
As a reminder, HPE CodeWars is an annual computer coding event for high school students. On Saturday March 2nd 2024, students (in teams of three) will have a chance to solve challenging problems during the 3-hour contest. The top teams at each contest in the Advanced and Novice divisions will win trophies and bragging rights. Each student participant will get a T-shirt and student participants at in-person events will get a morning snack and lunch, as well as a chance to win some cool door prizes. This event is a great opportunity for your students to see where real-world computer scientists work in a high-tech environment. The event is free to all participants, but your school or students will need to arrange for transportation to and from the in-person events.
 
We plan to host in-person events at Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) sites in three cities, along with a virtual contest for those unable to travel to an in-person event:
  • Houston (Spring), Texas – we will expand this event across both HPE’s headquarters and HP Inc.’s Houston offices to better accommodate more teams.
  • Fort Collins, Colorado
  • Roseville, California
The contest itself will run from 9:00-12:00 local time, but you and your students will want to arrive early enough to set up and grab a bite to eat. After the contest ends, we will serve lunch, draw prizes, and announce the winners. You can get the latest information, event rules, and previous years’ problem sets at https://hpecodewars.org/.
 
We expect to open registration in mid-January and will close it in mid-February or when we run out of space (whichever happens first).
 
We hope to see you and your students at HPE CodeWars on March 2nd 2024!
