SDSU Georgia at 2018 Google Hash Code Tbilisi

On March 1, 2018 at the National Science Library of Georgia, SDSU Georgia students on team “SYSTEMCorp” organized a hub of Google Hash Code, an international team programming competition for students and professionals. SDSU Georgia students have supervised the Georgia hub of the contest for three years in a row.

This year, the Google Hash Code qualifying round required teams to write a program that assigns self-driving cars to requested rides as efficiently as possible, so that riders start and end their rides on time. Each team could submit as many solutions as they liked, and a live scoreboard let them know how they compared with the competition. For four hours, students calculated the provided engineering case scenario. This year, among the students who registered in the Georgia hub, 50% of the participants were female.
