[Yr7-10it] python programming competition

[Bill Kerr]

The School of IT at the University of Sydney is running a programming
challenge for high school students over 5 weeks in term 3, 2009 - starting
on Monday 10 August.

Unlike existing competitions, the NCSS Challenge is designed to cater for
both beginners and advanced students. Each week, a set of Python teaching
resources for either in-class or self-directed learning will be distributed
to participants via email and online. A set of challenge questions testing
this material will also be distributed. Each week's challenge set will range
from relatively easy to extremely challenging allowing beginners to progress
at their own rate whilst extending gifted students. The challenges will
increase in complexity as more and more programming concepts are covered
over the 5 weeks.

Teachers can enter too
