15 Oct 2017

Overview

Very good results for the first participation in the IEEExtreme 2017 programming competition; 11th edition of the 24 hours competition to which took part more than 8000 participants, for a total of 3350 teams. Lorenzo Nodari, Michele Dusi, Claudio Cito, Francesco Cremascoli, Daniele Vezzoli, Stefano Poma and Nicola Onofri are the 7 students who programmed for 24 hours in a row, leading the University of Brescia to the podium!

How did we achieve this goal?

In February, IEEE Student Branch of Brescia has started a programming course for the students of the first engineering year. The aim is to teach the base of the object-oriented programming, the course led 21 participants of the “Programma Arnaldo” to acquire and/or improve their own algorithmic knowledge, data structures and searching methods.

Results

All the italian participating teams have got a result higher than the third quartile, a result which confirms and attests the real power and capability of the italian students, the italian universities and the quality of the available courses. In Italy, the University of Brescia achieved the third place among all participating universities, trying for the first time in the history the preparation of students, not graduated, of the first year for the worldwide IEEE competition. Given the results, we intend to propose the”Programma Arnaldo” also in the following years.
