The Malaysian Informatics and Programming Society (MIPS) is pleased to be organizing the Malaysia Computing Olympiad (MCO) Training Camp during the upcoming December school holidays. We are also pleased to announce that the Penang Math Platform is the venue sponsor for this camp.
Background
The objective of this camp is to train students in C++ programming and algorithmic thinking in preparation for the MCO 2025. MCO 2025 is a algorithmic programming competition that will be the next selection process for the Malaysian national team to the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) 2025. The MCO will be held tentatively in April 2025.
Eligibility
The training camp is open only to the Gold, Silver and Bronze medallists (except Open Category) in MCC 2024. Due to space and manpower constraints, we can only host a limited number of students. Please note that attending this camp is optional. MCC 2024 medalists who decide not to attend this camp will still qualify for MCO 2025 if they fulfill all the requirements.
