It helped the students realize that there was a world out there, which they could conquer. In 2002, we had the first and the second placed teams in the South America Regional (selective). So in 2003, we were back in the ICPC Finals!

In our training program, the candidates take training contests and discussions about 45 Saturdays per year. - They take contests together - They discuss strategies - They study together - They share notes and solutions - They support each other. After all that, they know that they own a part in anyone’s success story. IT IS ALL ABOUT PASSION!!! Katia Guimaraes - ACM ICPC - CLIS 2016
