Australian Informatics Olympiad

Nine students attempted the Australian Informatics Olympiad (AIO) this August. The AIO recognises and challenges students with an interest in computer programming and contains unique problems designed each year by leading educators, academics and industry experts to challenge and extend your students’ problem-solving skills.

Students who perform well in the AIO may be invited to participate in the AMT’s high-performance programs.

We would love to have more students involved next year. Participating students will need some programming experience and be able to write code in C, C++, Java or Python 3. For information and practice material go to the AIO website https://aio.edu.au/.
