Courses

The ECOO Programming Contest is a contest designed for high school students.

The contest takes place in three rounds:

In Round 1: (Board-wide contest) teams of students compete within their own Board of Education.
In Round 2: (Regional contest) winners of the Round 1 contest compete in one of three regions of Ontario: East, Central and West.
In Round 3: (Province-wide contest) the winners of Round 2 compete for the York University Cup.

A team consists of 4 students and one computer. In order to compete effectively, work must be divided efficiently among the team members.

I'm proud to say that our very own Trudeau team was the first York Region School to ever win the York University Cup!
