Informatics Olympiad Training enables students to develop the ability to create computer programs to solve problems of a mathematical nature, such as finding the shortest path between two points in a network, the number of ways of combining elements in a chemical equation, or the optimum seating arrangement given certain restrictions.
It is very challenging and offers a progression path that can end in representing Australia at the annual International Olympiad of Informatics.
This activity is suitable for students with great interest in Mathematics and Computer Science.
NB Competitions are in June (UNSW ProgComp) and August (Australian Informatics Olympiad). Participation in free, online competitions are encouraged.
