The Tsinghua-HKUST Programming Contest 2019 was held on 27 August 2019.

Undergraduate students from Tsinghua University in Mainland China, National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan, and The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology tested their skills against each other at HKUST in this exciting Greater China competition.

The competition aims to foster creativity, teamwork, and innovation in building new software programs among computer science students and to promote cultural exchange.

Seven teams took part in the challenge this year, two individual teams from each university and a joint "Girls' Team" formed by female students from these three institutions. Champion of this year's competition went to Team 6, comprised of Tsinghua University students Wenhou SUN, Leping WANG and Chen ZHANG.
