Hashcode

Google’s team-based programming competition, Hash Code, allows you to share your skills and connect with other coders as you work together to solve a problem modeled off a real Google engineering challenge! In small teams of two to four, coders all over the world will tackle the first problem through an Online Qualification Round. Though this round is hosted online, teams can come together to compete side-by-side in locally coordinated Hash Code hubs. One of which will be hosted in DCU on the 28th of February in LG25. The top teams from this round are invited to an international Google office for our annual Hashcode Final Round! If you want anymore info on Hash Code please look at this link: https://codingcompetitions.withgoogle.com/hashcode/
