The camp provides intensive training from expert faculty, many of whom are former Olympians and experienced coaches, with a curriculum specifically aligned with USACO competitions.
AlphaStar Academy Computer Science Camp offers an intensive and selective program designed for talented middle and high school students interested in competitive coding and advanced USACO programming. The curriculum is problem-solving based and aligned with the USA Computing Olympiad (USACO), aiming to equip students with the necessary background and problem-solving techniques to excel in national and international competitions. The camp features intensive lectures, practice sessions, and USACO mock exams, all guided by expert faculty, many of whom are former Olympians and experienced coaches. Students gain hands-on experience through in-class guided code writing and develop critical problem-solving skills. The program prepares students for various USACO divisions (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum) and provides a strong foundation for college-level computer science. AlphaStar also emphasizes the development of problem-solving skills as a lifelong asset and highlights the relevance of their courses to AP Computer Science and college applications.
A typical full day for in-person USACO courses includes four 90-minute class sessions with breaks, including a lunch break. Online full-day courses follow a similar structure. Half-day online programming courses consist of two 90-minute classes in either the morning or afternoon.
This camp is best for interested and talented middle and high school students who want to improve their computer science skills, prepare for USACO and other competitive programming contests, and gain a strong foundation for college-level computer science.
