international olympiad of informatics(Ioi)
國際科技奧運大賽
International Olympiad in Informatics (iOi) is one of the most prestigious computer science competitions in the world, organized for secondary school students annually. It was proposed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and is one of five academic Olympiads for high school students throughout the world. The first iOi was held in 1989 in Bulgaria, and 2014 iOi was held in Taipei, Taiwan.
The primary goal of the iOi is to stimulate interest in informatics (computing science) and information technology. Another important goal is to bring together exceptionally talented students from various countries and to have them share scientific and cultural experiences. Students in the national teams are selected through national computing contests, such as the USA Computing Olympiad(USACO).
The contest consists of two days computer programming, solving problems of an algorithmic nature. The contestants also need to show such basic IT skills as problem analysis, design of algorithms and data structures, programming and testing. Students compete on an individual basis, with up to four students competing from each participating country. The winners of the iOi belong to the best young computer scientists in the world.
國際科技奧運大賽(iOi)是一項針對初、高中生所舉辦的電腦程式設計比賽(Computer Algorithm Competition)，目標是推廣青少年高科技教育、發掘未來頂尖電腦科技人才，提高全球競爭力。由聯合國教科文組織於1989年發起。
這個號稱為「電腦界的 NFL選秀大賽」自推出以來，已經吸引來自美國、中國、蘇俄、日本、英國、法國、義大利…等超過50個國家，近萬名喜愛「玩電腦」的青少年熱情投入，並視之為科技教育界年度盛事。知名高科技龍頭企業如IBM, Lenovo, Amazon.com, Google….等在近年更是熱情參與，密切關注能夠從激烈競賽中脫穎而出的少年科技新秀，大方贊助大學升學獎學金。1999~2017年間，來自中國的選手奪得了超過31面金牌，居於全球之冠。華裔青少年近年更以超過50%的比例代表美國隊出賽，為華人揚眉吐氣。說iOi是一項最適合華裔子弟的競賽項目，真是一點也不為過。喜愛玩電腦、打電動的初、高中生若能提早接受電腦程式設計訓練，將興趣提升為能力，不僅有機會為個人爭取榮耀，還能為全球競爭力投入新血。
