“The empires of the future are the empires of the mind,” said Sir Winston Churchill at Harvard University in 1943. He frequently spoke of humanity’s minds in descriptions of the future and this is such an important point. It is our brains that give us both the vision for what we want the future to be and the capacity to make that future.

It is our brains that give us both the vision for what we want the future to be and the capacity to make that future.

Please consider the above and join me in congratulating the St. Petersburg Institute of Fine Mechanics and Optics for their May 2012 victory of the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest.  This contest, known as the “Battle of the Brains” in global computer programming, is a multi-tiered competitive programming competition among all the world’s universities that operates under the auspices of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and is supported by Baylor university (see ACM-ICPC’s site here).

This contest has its roots in a competition started in 1970 at Texas A&M as a way of fostering creativity  teamwork and innovation. Students tackle real world problems and race against the clock in competitions designed to show the best programming teams.  This really is a battle of the brains.
