Hash Code is a team-based programming competition organized by Google for students and industry professionals across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. You pick your team and programming language, Google picks a real-life engineering problem for you to solve. Are you up for the challenge?
The competition takes place over two rounds:
- Online Qualification Round: Your team can participate from one of the competition hubs or from wherever else you’d like;
- Final Round: Top scoring teams from the Online Qualification Round will be invited to Google Paris to compete in the Final Round of the competition.
Prizes
For the Final Round, Google will award cool prizes to the three teams with the highest scores. Every participant will also get a certificate of qualification to the Final Round and a gift bag.
Cost
