Interuniversity competition took place March 4-6 at Concordia University.

The Computer Science Games are an interuniversity competition involving challenges from all aspects of computing. A thrill-packed weekend of logic puzzles, algorithms, video game competitions, programming and social activities, the Games are organized by a different university each year and bring together undergraduate students from across North America.
