UNSW Progcomp [UNK] Final Competition Results Secret

Why is there a significant gap between the results of UNSW's high school programming final competition and the first round of the Main Round every year? This is because in recent years, the University of New South Wales (UNSW) has scheduled the final competition to be held in the same week as the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI), and members participating in IOI often prioritize international events. Due to the absence of these key players, the overall performance of the team will naturally be directly affected. So, is there a conflict between UNSW and IOI? It's not like that. In fact, UNSW attaches great importance to IOI athletes and provides an annual scholarship of AUD 7000 to students who win IOI gold medals, totaling AUD 28000 over four years, with an additional 10 points added to their college entrance examination scores. Therefore, the school clearly values IOI athletes. UNSW has set a very generous prize money for the ProgComp competition. It should be to attract more outstanding students besides IOI players, as the national team only has four members per year. Thus, UNSW can encourage a wider range of student groups to participate and demonstrate programming skills.

AMT December Informatics National Camp is officially underway!

We collected the State Award recipients and camp admission lists from parents across five states and put together a data analysis.

Camp Admission Summary

• Total participants: 30

• Boys: 22

• Girls: 8

State Awards Cross-Analysis

• Among the 30 camp participants, only 18 were invited to the State Awards

→ 60%

• Among the 54 students who received a State Award, only 18 were invited to the camp

→ 33%

In other words:

Having a State Award ≠ guaranteed entry into the Camp.

🏅 Differences Across States

• NSW & VIC (strong education states):

• Only Gold receives a State Award in NSW & VIC

• NSW & VIC make up the majority of national participants

• In other states, even Credit students may be invited to the State Awards

The level of competition varies significantly across regions!

👶 Age Highlights

• The youngest Gold State Award recipient is Year 7 (Sydney) — he chose to attend the Math Camp this year

• The youngest camp participant is also Year 7 (Melbourne)

Little Surprise in the Camp

• There is a pair of sisters in the camp—the older sister is a tutor, and the younger sister is a student.

How cool is that! 😍 (Their mum is a friend of mine!)
