MAPS (Mount Allison Programming Showdown) is an open, online programming competition that takes place annually in late winter or early spring. MAPS is organized through Mount Allison University (MtA). MAPS features a full problem set with a wide range of difficulty levels and draws hundreds of teams from all over the world, with problems created by MtA faculty, students, and alumni.
MAPS 2020 was hosted this past weekend, March 28, 2020. A total of 495 teams registered from all over the world this year, with over 50 teams from eight Atlantic universities participating: Acadia, Dalhousie, Saint Mary’s, StFX, MtA, UNB-F, UNB-SJ, and UPEI.
