Providence, R.I. – Four students from Algonquin Regional High School demonstrated superior mathematical and computer programming skills and achieved third place honors at the 28th Annual High School Programming Contest, held on Tuesday, March 11, 2014 at Providence College.
The students were among 48 students from 12 high schools in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York who competed in four-person teams during the competition. Using (HP) desktop personal computers and two designated computer programming languages, students wrote original programs that correctly solved complex, hypothetical math problems.
