The 2018 contest will kick off with an Online Qualification Round on Thursday, March 1st. During this virtual round, teams can participate from wherever they’d like, but we’d recommend joining a <a href="https://hashcode.withgoogle.com/hubs.html?utm_source=students_blog&utm_medium=blog">Hash Code hub</a> (more info below). Top scoring teams from the Online Qualification Round will be invited to Google Dublin in April to go head-to-head for the title of Hash Code 2018 Champion. <br /> <br /> <br /> Last year, more than 26,000 developers from 100+ countries participated in Hash Code. In the end, it was AIM Tech from Russia who took home the coveted Hash Code trophy during the Final Round at Google Paris.<br /> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img height="266" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/UbV4Aif4EvIkLd87s8VMh0GlrQdTyvlUn8t_8QQUVhE7sQFSm2ZlMyn2_DvCfAy6cd9H9ZHZC-wySAjE-JQaNHyGwBHCeCdnvz6NWu1KBBcJBAi2sOEyPuV0S0jw1Gk-Sd857pFs" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="400" /></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">First place team, AIM Tech, celebrates onstage at the Final Round after being announced the winners of Hash Code 2017</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <br /> Want to take part in Hash Code? Here’s what you need to know: <br /> <br /> <b>The problems are modeled after Google engineering challenges</b><br /> <br /> We want participants to experience what software engineering is like at Google, so we model Hash Code problems after challenges faced by Google engineering teams. Past problems have included <a href="https://hashcode.withgoogle.com/2017/tasks/hashcode2017_qualification_task.pdf?utm_source=students_blog&utm_medium=blog">optimizing video serving</a> on YouTube, <a href="https://hashcode.withgoogle.com/2014/tasks/hashcode2014_final_task.pdf?utm_source=students_blog&utm_medium=blog">routing Streetview cars</a> through a busy city, and <a href="https://hashcode.withgoogle.com/2015/tasks/hashcode2015_qualification_task.pdf?utm_source=students_blog&utm_medium=blog">optimizing the layout of a Google data center</a>. <br /> <br /> <br /> And just like software engineering at Google, there is no one correct solution to Hash Code problems. Instead, each round of the competition is designed as a battle of heuristics: participants work together to develop approximate solutions and then launch and iterate to progressively improve their score. Ingrid von Glehn, a Software Engineer at Google London, adds: “We design the problems to be challenging, but not intimidating. It’s important to us that everyone has fun while taking part.” <br /> <br /> <br /> <b>Participants work in teams</b><br /> <br /> To compete in Hash Code, you need to form a team of 2 to 4 people. This means it’s not just about what you know individually, but about how you and your team can work together to find better approaches and approximations as you advance through the problem. <br /> <br /> <br /> Damien, a Software Engineer at Google Zurich, has been a part of Hash Code since the beginning, first as a competitor and now as a volunteer. He advises participants to form well-rounded teams in order to succeed at Hash Code. “Combining different insights and skills can be the key to climbing the scoreboard,” Damien says. “The more diverse your team is, the better off you'll be!”<br /> <br /> <br /> Want to compete, but don’t have a team yet? Don’t worry!

The 2018 contest will kick off with an Online Qualification Round on Thursday, March 1st. During this virtual round, teams can participate from wherever they’d like, but we’d recommend joining a <a href="https://hashcode.withgoogle.com/hubs.html?utm_source=students_blog&utm_medium=blog">Hash Code hub</a> (more info below). Top scoring teams from the Online Qualification Round will be invited to Google Dublin in April to go head-to-head for the title of Hash Code 2018 Champion. <br /> <br /> <br /> Last year, more than 26,000 developers from 100+ countries participated in Hash Code. In the end, it was AIM Tech from Russia who took home the coveted Hash Code trophy during the Final Round at Google Paris.<br /> <br /> <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody> <tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img height="266" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/UbV4Aif4EvIkLd87s8VMh0GlrQdTyvlUn8t_8QQUVhE7sQFSm2ZlMyn2_DvCfAy6cd9H9ZHZC-wySAjE-JQaNHyGwBHCeCdnvz6NWu1KBBcJBAi2sOEyPuV0S0jw1Gk-Sd857pFs" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="400" /></td></tr> <tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">First place team, AIM Tech, celebrates onstage at the Final Round after being announced the winners of Hash Code 2017</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <br /> Want to take part in Hash Code? Here’s what you need to know: <br /> <br /> <b>The problems are modeled after Google engineering challenges</b><br /> <br /> We want participants to experience what software engineering is like at Google, so we model Hash Code problems after challenges faced by Google engineering teams. Past problems have included <a href="https://hashcode.withgoogle.com/2017/tasks/hashcode2017_qualification_task.pdf?utm_source=students_blog&utm_medium=blog">optimizing video serving</a> on YouTube, <a href="https://hashcode.withgoogle.com/2014/tasks/hashcode2014_final_task.pdf?utm_source=students_blog&utm_medium=blog">routing Streetview cars</a> through a busy city, and <a href="https://hashcode.withgoogle.com/2015/tasks/hashcode2015_qualification_task.pdf?utm_source=students_blog&utm_medium=blog">optimizing the layout of a Google data center</a>. <br /> <br /> <br /> And just like software engineering at Google, there is no one correct solution to Hash Code problems. Instead, each round of the competition is designed as a battle of heuristics: participants work together to develop approximate solutions and then launch and iterate to progressively improve their score. Ingrid von Glehn, a Software Engineer at Google London, adds: “We design the problems to be challenging, but not intimidating. It’s important to us that everyone has fun while taking part.” <br /> <br /> <br /> <b>Participants work in teams</b><br /> <br /> To compete in Hash Code, you need to form a team of 2 to 4 people. This means it’s not just about what you know individually, but about how you and your team can work together to find better approaches and approximations as you advance through the problem. <br /> <br /> <br /> Damien, a Software Engineer at Google Zurich, has been a part of Hash Code since the beginning, first as a competitor and now as a volunteer. He advises participants to form well-rounded teams in order to succeed at Hash Code. “Combining different insights and skills can be the key to climbing the scoreboard,” Damien says. “The more diverse your team is, the better off you'll be!”<br /> <br /> <br /> Want to compete, but don’t have a team yet?

Students will spend three weeks at a Google office, where they’ll learn programming fundamentals directly from Google engineers. In their final week, groups of students will design and develop their very own application (with mentorship from Google engineers). </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> The<a href="https://edu.google.com/scholarships/the-generation-google-scholarship/"> Generation Google Scholarship</a> helps aspiring computer scientists from underrepresented groups excel in technology and become leaders in the field. Selected students will receive 10,000 USD (for those studying in the US) or 5,000 CAD (for those studying in Canada) for the 2018-2019 school year. As part of the scholarship, current high school seniors who are entering their first year of university in Fall 2018 will be required to attend CSSI in the summer of 2018.</div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <b>Where & When</b></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> We offer two types of sessions at CSSI: commuter and residential. At our residential sites, students will live in a dorm for the duration of the three weeks. The residential site is reserved for students who do not have a local Google office nearby. At the residential sites, housing, meals, and transportation will be provided and costs will be covered by Google. Residential sites for 2018 include:</div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> Seattle, WA: July 8th - July 28th </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> Pittsburgh, PA: July 8th - July 28th</div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> Cambridge, MA: July 8th - July 28th</div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> Kirkland, WA: July 15th - August 4th </div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> At the commuter sites, students will be provided a travel stipend and expected to commute to/from the respective Google office for each day of CSSI. Lunch will be provided and covered by Google each day. Students within a specified mileage distance from the respective day-camp offices will automatically be considered for those sites. Commuter sites for 2018 include:</div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> Atlanta, GA: July 9th - July 27th</div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> Austin, TX: July 16th - August 3rd</div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> Chicago, IL: July 9th - July 27th</div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> Los Angeles, CA: July 16th - August 3rd</div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> Mountain View, CA: July 16th - August 3rd</div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> New York City, NY: July 9th - July 27th</div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: left;"> There will also be two Saturday activities planned at both the residential and commuter sites that will be covered by Google.
