Olympiads in Informatics to start soon

Olympiads in Informatics will start in a few days in Azerbaijan.  Initially  Olympiads will be held within secondary schools, then the city tournaments will start.  Teachers of Informatics may use “e-olimp.az” web-site to prepare school pupils for the Olympiads. This information was provided to ICTnews by Naida Isayeva, the administrator of “http://www.informatik.az/” web-site, teacher of Informatics and coauthor of the new textbook on “Informatics” developed for comprehensive schools.

According to her, most of the tasks presented on the web-site have already been translated into Azerbaijani language. The web-site has online checking system, so teachers don’t need to check tasks. The online system checks the solved tasks by means of testing, and informs the pupil about results of checking.

Let’s note that during this academic year the web-site will continue to offer “Five Week” project to the pupils who want to learn programming or prepare for competitions on various school subjects. Certain  improvements will be made to the project so that to gradually increase their complexity during the week.  The most interesting answers with the names of their authors will be kept at the main analyzes base. It should be noted that pupils may use “e-olimp.com” to learn programming. To test themselves pupils might choose tasks, solve them by writing  their algorithms in the programming language and send the answers to the web-site. Around 400 tasks have already been translated in Azerbaijani language.
