The Prep Class for ACSL Elementary Division is designed to prepare students for the American Computer Science League (ACSL) competition, which organizes team computer programming and computer science contests for K-12 schools worldwide. When you join our class, you automatically become a team member for the 2023-24 season at no cost, with our team offering guidance to help you register, prepare, and compete in the final contest. The ACSL competition consists of four contests, each focusing on unique computer science concepts. The course is divided into four parts, with three 90-minute lessons for each concept. After completing each part, students will take an official ACSL contest, giving them the chance to see their results on the ACSL national leaderboard. Those who perform well may be invited to the ACSL Finals at the end of the year. What will be taught? Students will learn a wide range of foundational computer science concepts, including: Number Systems: Converting between binary, octal, hexadecimal, and decimal systems. Prefix and Postfix Notations: Understanding and evaluating arithmetic expressions. Boolean Algebra: Using truth tables and simplifying logical expressions. Graph Theory: Learning to draw graphs and solve problems using algorithms. What topics will you cover? Each lesson covers a specific topic: Part A: Number Systems Part B: Prefix and Postfix Notations Part C: Boolean Algebra Part D: Graph Theory How is the class structured? Each part consists of three sessions: one lecture, one practice session, and a final review with an ACSL contest. Lessons include hands-on practice with real-world examples to reinforce the topics covered. The goal is to build a strong understanding of key concepts, preparing students for success in ACSL competitions. By the end of this course, students will have a thorough understanding of these topics and the confidence to compete in the ACSL contests.
