Messiah College trio solves complex computer programming challenge and bests 150 other colleges and universities in competition
December 13th, 2011
In early November, a team of three Messiah College students–Michael Adams `13, Anthony Spargo `13, and Zachary Felix `15–came in third out of 159 college/university teams participating in the Middle Atlantic United States Regional Programming Contest of the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM). The contest pits teams of three students against a dozen complex computer programming problems with a grueling five-hour deadline.
Because of their strong performance, Messiah’s team is one of 100 invited to the international World Competition in Warsaw, Poland next May.
The students were advised by computer science professor Scott Weaver, ITS programmer Jason Long, and alum Jonathan Corbin `03.
