About the NZOI

NZOI is the NZ Informatics Olympiad, one of a number of Secondary School Olympiads operating under the umbrella NZ Science Olympiads organization. The NZOI's goals are to

  • Provide training opportunities in Informatics to selected New Zealand students who are currently enrolled in a Secondary School in New Zealand or who have been enrolled in the last 8 months.
  • To select students for the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) www.ioinformatics.org.
  • To foster informatics (programming) in high schools.

The IOI is the foremost high school programming contest in the world. Each year, about August, it is hosted by a different country. New Zealand first sent a team in 2006 to the 18th Olympiad.
