ACSL Contest

Read below for information on the upcoming ACSL contest.  Let me know if you are interested.

CSTA ANNOUNCEMENTS LISTSERV

Register as a new member for the contests of the American Computer Science League (ACSL) and get a free contest question CD.  The CD contains 20 original programming problems with solutions and 27 questions and solutions from our category list.

Whereas most other CS contests are geared for just your very best students, ACSL has three divisions that are geared to inexperienced first year students in grades 6 - 12 through those who have completed the AP course.  ACSL even has a division that does not require programming.

ACSL also provides students with a Short Problems part on various computer science topics and a Programming Problem part that students can complete in any language of their choice. 

Contest materials make it possible for you to teach your students about Boolean Algebra, Digital Electronics, Graph Theory, Lisp Programming, Computer Number Systems, Recursive Functions, Bit String Operations, Prefix and Postfix Notation, Data Structures, and even Assembly Language.  All topics introduce core concepts in the field of computer science.

ACSL, in its 37th year of offering computer science contests for all of your students and administered at your school, is on the Approved Activities List of the National Association of Secondary School Principals.  Remember, the All-Star Contest in May, 2015 will be held in Orlando, FL!
