The ICSC is a global educational program that empowers students to challenge their logical thinking, deepen their computer science knowledge, jumpstarting their journey into the world of technology.
The Qualification Round features five problems that cover foundational concepts, logic, and introductory algorithms. Some problems require an abstract explanation of the solution, while others involve the writing of code.
Each problem is worth 5 points. To advance, participants must achieve a minimum score of 15 points for the Junior division, 17 points for the Youth division, and 20 points for the Senior division. Participants are encouraged to show their work, express themselves creatively, and produce efficient algorithms. Outstanding submissions receive special recognition.
Qualified participants tackle six more complex problems over four days, some of which build on concepts introduced in the Qualification Round. The problem set includes:
The maximum score is 36 points. To advance, participants must achieve at least 16 points for Junior, 20 points for Youth, and 24 points for Senior divisions. To run the competition at a global scale, the registration cost for the Pre-Final Round is 11 EUR . Financial aid is available to waive or reduce these costs. You can find more details here.
The Final Round is a fast-paced online exam consisting of 20 multiple-choice questions, with 60 seconds allocated for each question. It covers concepts from previous rounds, including theoretical concepts and algorithmic understanding, but does not involve writing code.
Participation requires supervision by a registered teacher or self-recording with both screen and webcam active. Final rankings and prizes are determined based on performance in this round, with tie-breakers using results from previous rounds.
