Bay Coding Club USACO Mars Team
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: 30 weekly 60 hours, 1.5hours per class. The first 30 hours the teach will teach new content and skills in programming, and the latter 30 hours sessions the teacher will help students hone their abilities by practicing with specifically selected problems.
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/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.
Curriculum will be toward USACO, it will be adjusted according to the students real situation .
Problems practice class will be 30 hours, all the questions are from USACO official released questions database.
