Eleven teams from four area high schools recently attended the Westminster College High School Programming Contest.

Teams, consisting of three or four high school students, worked for two and a half hours on six computer programming problems. Students submitted solutions and received feedback from the judges electronically, while an electronic score sheet displayed updated results throughout the contest. Scoring for each problem was based on the time since the beginning of the contest, as well as the number of incorrect submissions.

Dr. John Bonomo, Westminster College associate professor of computer science, designed and ran the contest. He has been involved with programming contests on the regional and international level. Bonomo recently served as a judge for the International Programming Contest in San Antonio. This was his fifth time as an international judge.
