The plan for a ACM BITS Pilani student's chapter began nearly 2 years back when a group of students saw the posters of ACM ICPC Kanpur regionals on our SWD noticeboards . The concept of an International Coding contest really intrigued them and put them all on a long road at the mid of which we stand today to tell everyone this story .
These group of students then decided to enquire more into the conducting bodies of ICPC . This search led them to the ACM IIT Kanpur Student's chapter which conducted those regionals . This path soon led to ACM itself and the world's largest scientific community was soon revealed to the awestruck students .
The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) is the world's oldest and largest educational and scientific computing society. It is a major force in advancing the skills of computing professionals and students in more than 100 countries in all areas of industry, academia, and government worldwide.
It was founded in 1947 for the purpose of advancing the sciences and arts of Information Processing (IP), promoting the free inter-change of IP among specialists and the public, and developing and maintaining the integrity & competence of IP practitioners.
