Two teams represented the University of Akron this year.

Results:

Although our students spent many hours preparing for the contest, they were unable to get that one last bug out of the problems they worked on, and ended up tied for 81st place with 44 other teams that also failed to solve a problem.

Thanks to the team members that took time out of their busy schedules... better luck next year!!!
