Second Coding Competition

I’m proud to share that our team, the Jumping Javas, placed second in the novice division at this year’s Lockheed Martin CodeQuest competition. With finals happening, we did not have much time to prepare, and most of our practice came in short, focused sessions between studying and assignments. Even so, we stayed disciplined and committed to improving from last year, when we placed third. During the 2.5-hour competition, we concentrated on clear communication, efficient problem solving, and smart time management, which made a noticeable difference in our performance. The problems were challenging, but we felt more confident and coordinated than before, and that growth ultimately paid off.
