The Knapsackers@UNT, a.k.a. John Rizzo, Hector Cuellar and Robert Burke, competed at the ACM World Finals in Banff Springs, Alberta, Canada, April 6-9, after winning first place in the ACM South Central Regional contest last semester. The team received an Honorable Mention for their efforts at the contest, which was won by a team from the St. Petersburg University of IT, Mechanics and Optics. A team from MIT placed second.
One hundred teams traveled to the world finals from around the world, representing the best of the best having won their regional tournaments against anywhere from 20 to 200 teams each. Once again we take our hats off to these students and the faculty in CSE for their continued outstanding performance in national and international competitions.
