Keeping up with the ever-progressing technological world and to equip the youth of this nation with the skills necessary to compete in the IT field, Notre Dame Information Technology Club presented its annual national programming contest FTMPC 3.0 or Father Timm Memorial Programming Contest 3.0, which was the sequel of FTMPC 2.0, the seminal national contest held in 2021. This sequel was another groundbreaking instalment in the FTMPC series.

The contest has been named so in honour of Father Richard William Timm (1923 – 2020), one of the founding members of Notre Dame College, Dhaka, and our revered 6th principal. Father Timm was noteworthy for his writings and relief works supporting Bangladesh in the Liberation War along with his excellently scholarly mind, especially as a biologist. This Ramon Magsaysay Award winner and the discoverer of over 250 species is the founder of the renowned clubs of Notre Dame College which are the pioneering clubs in the country. In reverence to his memories, NDITC hosts its annual programming contest in his name.

This sequel brought a whole new dimension to the society of competitive programming.

So, are we ready to brace ourselves for this journey?
