The Computer and Information Systems Department and the ACM Student Chapter at RHU’s College of Sciences and Information Systems launched the First Annual High School Programming Contest (HSPC’17) on Saturday January 21st, 2017. Out of the twenty six high school students who participated in the event, three students from Iman High School took the lead.
The first three winners were from Iman High School: Mahmoud Dafer (1st place), Mohammad Nasser (2nd place), and Taha Yassine (3rd place).
Coach Mohamed Abd El-Wahab (Head of Scientific Committee, ACM ACPC Arab Collegiate Programming Contest) and Ms. Hanaa El Jazzar (Deputy System Administrator in ACM ACPC) provided RHU valuable technical and scientific support on this contest.
