You are invited to take part in CAT 2018.

No prior experience in computer programming is necessary. 

The competition employs a mixture of multiple-choice and integer answers, and incorporates unique ‘three stage tasks’ that encourage students to develop informal algorithms and apply them to test data of increasing size or complexity.  

For more details, visithttp://www.amt.edu.au/informatics/cat/.

The cost of the online competition is SGD 11.50.

Competition date is on 27 March (Tuesday) 3 - 4 pm.
