What Is A CodeChef College Chapter?

CodeChef College Chapters are the programming clubs run and maintained by the official Chapter Leaders and mentored by CodeChef. They aim to make learning competitive programming accessible for students across the globe.

The mission of CodeChef College Chapters is to build a robust Competitive Programming culture in educational institutions. College Chapters help students become better problem solvers by fostering learning and professional development. We believe every student should be given the proper mentorship and resources to become a better programmer and compete on a global scale.

Chapter Leaders are responsible for conducting different activities and engagements to achieve this mission, such as:

• Creating, recruiting, growing, and leading the College Chapter
• Setting a vision for the College Chapter and creating goals aligned with it
• Organizing regular events, meetups, and speaker sessions
• Monitoring the growth of students on campus and ensuring a peer-learning environment
• Working with CodeChef team for improvements and development of the College Chapter

Starting a CodeChef Chapter in your college will

• Bring a competitive programming culture on the campus under the mentorship of CodeChef
• Enable students to learn together with other College Chapters in the CodeChef Community
• Provide opportunities and exposure to students on the campus
