Program Overview

This comprehensive long-term program is designed to take students from absolute beginners in Java to mastering the language at the AP Computer Science A level and further advancing to the USACO Bronze Division. It is ideal for students who want to build a strong programming foundation, excel in AP CS exams, and compete in prestigious coding competitions.

Why Choose This Program?

Step-by-Step Learning: Start with basic Java programming and gradually progress to AP-level concepts and competitive programming.
AP CS A Exam Readiness: Develop problem-solving skills, object-oriented programming knowledge, and algorithmic thinking to excel in the AP exam.
USACO Bronze Preparation: Train for the USA Computing Olympiad (USACO) by solving real competition problems and learning essential algorithms and data structures.
Long-Term Growth: A structured curriculum spanning multiple semesters ensures steady progress and deep understanding.

Who Should Join?

  • Middle and high school students who want to learn Java from scratch.
  • Students preparing for the AP Computer Science A exam.
  • Aspiring competitive programmers targeting USACO Bronze and beyond.
  • Anyone passionate about coding and problem-solving.

Take Your First Step Toward Programming Excellence!

Bay Coding Club USACO

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. 

Pre-Class Instructions: Please have an IDE 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 projects and to USACO. 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.

Curriculum will be adjusted according to the students real situation .

Problems practice , all the questions are  from USACO official released questions database.
