Class Description:
KTBYTE now offers general computing competition prep at an intermediate level for students who hope to place in national or internaional computer science contests! This course will start by introducing easy problems from the Australian Informatics Olympiad (AIO) and Canadian Computing Competition (CCC), before going on to teach strategies for studying and implementing more advanced algorithmic problem-solving. This is intended for students who have complete our Level 4 courses but are not yet ready for USACO prep.
Prerequisites
