Introduction to the Australian Olympic Informatics Competition and the Australian National Training Camp

1,  Competitive and Algorithmic Thinking Competition (CAT) is a one hour multiple-choice/short answer competition. No computer or programming skills are required. We need the problem-solving ability behind algorithm design.

2. Australian Informatics Olympiad (AIO) three hour programming competition. Three problems need to be solved, and the available computer languages are C, C++, Java, or Python

3. The School of Excellence held a 10 day intensive training camp in Olympic informatics at the Australian National University in Canberra. Invite approximately 25 students based on the AIO competition results.

4. Alpha Contest (AC) is usually an online selection competition for students on the December camp

5 , The Australian Invitational Informatics Olympiad (AIIO) is usually an online selection competition for students on the December camp

6,  The French Australian Regional Informatics Olympiad (FARIO) is an annual online competition held between French and Australian students, and like AIIO, is also part of the selection process for the April camp in Australia.

7. Based on the results of the three selection competitions of AC, AIIO, and FARIO, Team Selection School held its second 10 day National Olympiad Training Camp at UNSW.

8. Australian Selection Exams (SELN) are the selection exams for the Australian Informatics Olympiad national team, selecting four team members to represent Australia in the competition.

The Australian Olympic Teams Announcement (AOTA) held a celebration event at the Australian Parliament House in Canberra, officially announcing the establishment of the Australian International Informatics Olympic National Team.
