organization in the USA. Its goals include:

  • Providing pre-college students with opportunities to sharpen their
    computer programming skills
  • Enhancing the quality of pre-college computer education by providing
    both students and teachers with challenging problems, training materials, and
    competitions that emphasize algorithm development and problem-solving skills.
  • Providing pre-college students with opportunities to sharpen their
    computer programming skills
  • Recognizing excellent students with outstanding skills in computer science
    and encouraging them to pursue further opportunities in the profession.
  • Providing educational, motivational, and competitive materials in the
    form of programming competitions and web-based training materials.

      working through the material to hone your competition computing
      skills. You'll automatically join a low-traffic mailing list (ten
