The event brought together 10 delegations, comprising teams from the host institution, the University of Informatics Sciences (UCI), and senior high competitors.

  For five consecutive hours, the squads solved highly complex algorithms and logic problems using languages ​​such as C++, Java, and Python.

  The event was part of a simultaneous competition held across several provinces, coordinated locally by contest director Cristhian Arlan Cecilio Tejeda and sponsored by the Red de Jovenes por la Vida (Youth for Life Network)

  Qualifiers will advance to the Caribbean Final, which will be hosted primarily by the University of Havana. This stage serves as the precursor to the Latin American competition—a decisive step toward securing spots in the event’s World Finals.

  The International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) is the most prestigious university-level programming competition on a global scale.

  Organized internationally, the contest evaluates the analytical skills, teamwork, and algorithmic development of university students as they solve computational problems in real-time under pressure.
