Hello Codforks!

The 2025 Harker Programming Invitational (HPI) will take place on Saturday March 8, 2025. This year, the theme of our contest will be CS & Economics.

Teams of up to 3 students may participate in either our Novice (10 problems) or Advanced Division (12 problems) in a 2-hour contest round with USACO-style problems. We will also be awarding prizes to top contestants. There will be no entry fee.
