UTM's Physics Club, UTM's Mathematical and Computational Sciences Society, and UTM's Women in Science and Computing Club proudly announce the PyJaC (Python, Java, and C) Coding Competition!

This competition allows students to work on a CS side-project that looks great on résumés, especially if you win in one of the sections!

There will be one winner (or winning group) from each difficulty-level.

The prizes for each category are as follows:

- Best Presentation: Top secret prize! 

- Judge's Favourite: Top secret prize!
