Description
IMC's Tech Race at HKUST
Think you can code fast under pressure?
Join IMC for our Tech Race and put your speed and problem-solving to the test. You'll take on 20 rapid, diverse problems spanning computer-science fundamentals and race to the top of a live leaderboard that tracks every team in real time — the first to finish wins. There is no setup and no installs; just you, your peers and our in-house tech platform.
