National Computer Science Schools Challenge

• The NCSS Challenge is run by the University of Sydney and NICTA as part of the National Computer Science School (NCSS).

• The Challenge is unlike any other programming competition because we will teach you how to program as you compete rather than expecting you to be a coder already. However, if you are a seasoned coder, we have something for you too: advanced streams with problems ranging from relatively simple through to mind-bendingly hard.

• For 5 weeks starting on 6th August, 2012, we will email you a short tutorial containing the information you will need to complete the week's programming challenges.

The Challenge • In 2012, there are three streams to the Challenge:• The Beginners stream, which is designed for students with no prior

experience at programming;• The Intermediate stream, for students who have completed the

Beginners stream, and those who have some experience in programming;• The Advanced stream, for students who know Python and have

significant programming experience, or who have completed the Intermediate stream in previous years.

• If you would like more information about the Challenge and the three streams, you can download this brochure.

• If you have questions or comments, email us at challenge@ncss.edu.au.• 5 weeks in August • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtCi_r09W68&feature=related
