The UMD High School Programming Contest brings talented students from high schools throughout the DC metropolitan area to the campus to participate in a three hour competition. Students competing in teams of four demonstrate their programming skills and problem solving abilities by attempting to solve eight programming problems in C++.
The 2000 Contest was held Saturday, March 11, 2000, at the University College Campus of the University of Maryland. Twenty-eight teams from Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia competed.
