The Qatar Collegiate Programming Contest provides college students, majoring in any computing-related field, an opportunity to demonstrate their programming and problem-solving skills. It is a platform to meet fellow students from other universities and colleges within Qatar, where students meet under one roof to compete in teams by designing computer-based programs that solves real-life problems using high-level programming languages such as C, C++, Java and Python. The contest then qualifies the top teams to the Arab Regional Contest (ACPC) which will take place in Egypt.
