Bay Coding Club USACO ( with Java AP)
The USACO supports computing education in the USA and worldwide by identifying, motivating, and training high-school computing students at all levels. We provide:
- Hundreds of hours of free on-line training resources that students can use to improve their programming and computational problem-solving skills.
- On-line programming contests (roughly six per year) for students at all levels.
- An intensive summer training camp, to which the top students in the USA are invited to further improve their skills and learn advanced material.
- The opportunity for the top four students in the USA to represent their country at the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI), the most prestigious international algorithmic programming competition at the high-school level.
USACO Bronze
Introduction to USACO is a basic course for students familiar with programming and interested in participating in the USACO competition. The course will teach important problem-solving principles and strategies, as well as how to deal with common problems appearing in USACO bronze.
Duration: This is a long-term of program after spring break to the end of this year , during summer there may be no class for few weeks( it will adjusted by the teacher, he will send email in advance). The first session last for few month the teach will teach JAVA basic and AP CS related knowledge Then this program will focus on USACO. The teacher will help students hone their abilities by practicing with specifically selected problems.
Pre-Class Instructions: Please have an IDE or Replit handy where you can write and execute code easily. Be prepared to take notes.
Prerequisite: Nothing directly required, but completion of pre-algebra/algebra one is preferred
Goal: To educate students in Java with applications to AP CS A and to USACO Bronze /external sources in order to develop greater utility in the future with C++. Ideally, after this course, the students should be able to tackle USACO Bronze competitions and easier silver problems(those of which don’t require any direct algorithmic knowledge), but a USACO Silver course following this course is advised.
Future Goals: After this course, students are advised to enroll in a USACO Silver class.
Note: This curriculum is more guided towards the actual learning of the Java language, USACO problems will be done at a speed according to the competence of the student, but easier problems will also be integrated into the learning of the language, while there will be separate time for teaching USACO problem solving directly.
Problems practice , all the questions are from APCS AND USACO official released questions database.
