The Canadian Computing Competition (CCC) is an annual programming competition organized by the Centre for Education in Mathematics and Computing at the University of Waterloo, open to high school students at all experience levels. Competitors have three hours to solve five algorithmic problems worth 15 points each, with separate Junior and Senior divisions to accommodate beginners and advanced programmers alike. Top performers at the Senior level are invited to further compete for a spot on Canada's team at the International Olympiad in Informatics. The CCC is one of the most respected computing competitions available to high school students and serves as an excellent gateway into the world of competitive programming.
