Introduction to Competitive Coding (USACO Bronze) Every year USACO hosts three online coding competitions, starting in December, in which you will have the opportunity to display your programming and algorithm skills. This course focuses on the topics needed to master the first level Bronze. Although many languages are accepted, historically entrants use C++ and Java. Our goal is bridge the gap between our bright python users and the exciting world of coding competitions. Although we will cover many necessary skills such as data structures and search algorithms we highly recommend students practice questions on their own for best results during competition. In this 10 lesson course, students will learn the foundational skills for participating in competitive coding events such as the United States of America Computing Olympiad (USACO). For a week to week program, check out the syllabus.
