Join Rwanda Informatics Olympiad, a national informatics competition for high schoolers, encouraging problem-solving skills and innovation in programming, designed for young enthusiasts aged 20 and below.
The Rwanda Informatics Olympiad is dedicated to discovering and nurturing talented young programmers who will represent our nation on the global stage.
We identify and nurture talented young programmers across Rwanda, providing them with world-class training in algorithms, data structures, and problem-solving. Through structured competitions and camps, we prepare students to excel in international informatics olympiads and beyond.
We envision Rwanda as a recognized center of excellence in informatics education, where computational thinking is embedded in every school. Our students will not only represent Rwanda on the global stage but become leaders in technological innovation and digital transformation.
Excellence in all we do. Collaboration across institutions. Inclusivity for all talented students regardless of background. Innovation in our approaches. Impact that extends beyond competitions to real-world applications.
