What Is a CodeChef College Chapter?
The programming clubs administered and
maintained by the official Chapter Leaders and mentored by CodeChef are known
as CodeChef College Chapters. They want kids all across the world to be able to
learn competitive programming.
CodeChef College Chapters' mission is to
establish a strong Competitive Programming culture in educational institutions.
College Chapters foster learning and professional development, which helps students
become better problem solvers. We think that every student should be provided
with the necessary mentorship and tools in order to improve their programming
skills and compete on a global basis.
