The Flagship Event

About ReidXtreme

ReidXtreme 5.0 is the flagship competitive programming hackathon organized by the IEEE Student Branch of UCSC in collaboration with the ACM Student Chapter of UCSC.

Returning for its fifth edition, ReidXtreme brings together students with a shared interest in coding and problem-solving. Through a series of workshops and two competitive rounds, the event provides an opportunity to develop programming skills, explore new concepts, and gain valuable competition experience.

Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced programmer, ReidXtreme 5.0 offers a platform to learn, challenge yourself, and prepare for larger competitions such as IEEEXtreme.
