[CSENews] Fwd: Introducing Google Code Jam

[Teresa Isela VanderSloot]

I wanted to pass along a fun opportunity for students to increase their 
algorithm and coding skills through a Google sponsored competition. The 
competition is called Google Code Jam and is open to all students and 
industry professionals. Competitors are given progressively harder 
algorithmic problems to solve in a timed setting. If the competitor can 
provide the correct solution before time expires they will move onto the 
next round. It would be great if you could pass the information along 
since it helps reinforce learnings in the classroom, while at the same 
time providing experience outside the classroom.

You can read more about the competition at: http://code.google.com/codejam
