For those who are interested in programming, and perhaps have a little beginning knowledge of the Java language, you may want to take senior Alan Wang's Competitive Programming online course. This is an extension to a free, basic Java course he created and ran for over 100 younger students last summer, and is his SDG project.
The course is free and online, all you need to do is commit to the time to take it!! Registration is open, and we expect it to fill quickly since it is capped at 30 students this time. Check it out if interested!!
Competitive programming is like math olympiad or science olympiad but for computer science. During competitions, you take a 4-hour test that tests your ability to write code to solve difficult problems. There are 4 divisions bronze, silver, gold, platinum. The class will be introducing how to take the test and going over how to advance from the bronze divisions to silver division. Alan would encourage students who have taken Introduction to Java Programming or know basic Java programming to register.
