Class teaches the theory.ETC is where you use it.

You learn by building, breaking things, trying again, and working with people who are just as curious as you are. Whether it's your first project or something you've been working on for months, ETC gives you the space to turn what you know into something real.

The ETC universe

6 events come back every season, and ETCode is the one we are known for. Each tentacle is one of them: pick it to see what happens there.

ETC's flagship. Teams of three, any language, a problem set from warm-up to brutal. Between rounds, mini-games win you hints, and a lot of fun!
