Hi!

The Competitive Programming Initiative is once again offering USACO Bronze and USACO Silver classes from October to December. We have limited space available, so be sure to sign up early! Financial aid is available for those who need it.

Each class consists of 9 two-hour lessons and accompanying homework, with a curriculum designed and developed by past USACO Finalists. We've streamlined our curriculum to cover all the material necessary to pass USACO Bronze or Silver by the December contest, so students can have the most time to practice and improve their USACO skills.

In order to ensure that all students have a strong understanding of the course content, we are now hosting weekly office hours where students will be able to ask instructors for help with that week's curriculum or homework.
