We offer free classes from 5:15 - 6:45 on 13 Tuesdays, from November 5th to April 1st, and we will be going over fundamental competitive coding techniques. With these techniques, our students should be able to get past USACO Bronze, and well into USACO Silver. This can be a real boost in your college applications. Not only that, these techniques and lessons are fundamental to the career of a programmer, especially when one is interviewing for jobs in tech companies such as Google and Microsoft. If you want to see what we will teach, go to our Course Information page. If you are interested in being introduced to competitive programming, fill out this Google Form and a Google Classroom code should be sent to your email.
We are a group of high schoolers, situated in the Bay Area, determined to introduce competitive programming to middle schoolers and high schoolers. Our main goal is to help students pass the divisions of the United States of America Computing Olympiad (USACO). There are 4 divisions to it. However, the first division is already very difficult to pass because it is around 5 times harder than AP Computer Science A. For this reason, we offer a course called “USACO Bronze”, which will teach students everything they need to know to pass the first division and well into the next division—the Silver division. USACO is a great olympiad to put on college applications. Our course not only prepares them for the first division entirely and thereby introducing them to competitive programming (where an individual is given a programming problem to solve in a given amount of time), but also prepares them very well for programming interviews at companies later on in their life. This highlights the need to learn competitive programming.
