Competitive Lesson & CCC Registration

Doesn’t looking at all these Christmas trees make you wonder how to use your own? Wait… use?? Hop by room 222 Thursday, December 21 @ lunch for a lesson on how to use your very own binary indexed tree and segment trees!

And for everyone who’s been waiting.. 🥁🥁🥁.. it’s time to register for the Canadian Computing Competition (CCC)! The CCC is held annually by the University of Waterloo and will occur on Wednesday February 21, 2024. The competition gives participants the opportunity to build confidence and grow their ability to design, understand and implement algorithms.

The two division offered are Junior and Senior (yes! just like our LCCs). The Junior division is recommended for students with beginner programming skills while the Senior division is recommended for those with intermediate to advanced programming skills (we highly recommend grade 11 and grade 12 students attempt the Senior division). The top participants from only the Senior division will be invited to the Canadian Computing Olympiad (CCO).

Note: Participating in the CCC is especially beneficial to those applying to CS majors at Waterloo in grade 12.

The contest has 5 questions for a total of 75 points and will take place at Mackenzie for 3 hours. There will be a $10 fee to register and the deadline is January 10th 11:59 PM, 2024 (no exceptions); the payment will open on SchoolCashOnline AFTER signups close and will be due January 25, 2024.
