Programming competitions

Our programming competition group is primarily concerned with competitive programming. We coordinate participation in competitions and training sessions for them. We also organize our own small events.

However, programming competitions can be very diverse. In addition to competitive programming, these also include hackathons or even obfuscation competitions.

Future dates

Hack your Studies – 21.04. – 23.04. The Computer Science Student Group organized a hackathon with the theme „Hack your Studies.“ The topics were specifically about projects aimed at improving everyday student life, either by extending or enhancing existing platforms or by creating new tools. On 16.04., there were a few lectures and workshops on tools particularly useful for hackathons. For all newcomers to hackathons, this was a great opportunity to get an insight. Some project ideas were also specially designed for hackathon beginners. Feel free to bring your own project ideas as well!

Wintercontest 2023 - January 28th, 2023
This year’s winter contest was a complete success for our group. With 5 teams of three people each, there were more participants from Göttingen than in a long time. There were even 4 first-semester students among them.
A total of 74 teams from all over Germany took part. The best placement from Göttingen is 20th place with 5 solved tasks. We are also particularly pleased with the other places 31, 38, 39 and 42. This means that all of our teams solved 4 tasks and ended up at least in the middle of the field. We are pleased with the stable performance, but are encouraged to solve even more tasks in future competitions.
