International Informatics Olympiad in Teams 2023 kicks off tomorrow in Egypt with Syria’s participation

Syria will take part in the International Informatics Olympiad in Teams ( IIOT 2023) which is due to kick off tomorrow in the Egyptian city of Port Said.

According to the Syrian Distinction and Creativity Agency, special training will be conducted today for the students participating in this 3-day Olympiad. Competitions will be held tomorrow through a 3-hour test that contains several problems in programming that need to be solved in English, the agency said in a statement.

The agency pointed out that Syria is represented in this Olympiad by the Syrian International Informatics Team of the Syrian Science Olympiad. It comprises students from Al-Ma’arri School in Aleppo identified as Bernard Brahimsha, Mark Awad, Taim Hijazi and Ilia Ibrahim.

The Olympiad is held in teams because it is a requirement for the labour market and it provides the opportunity of mutual support in case of difficulty and enhances creativity that comes from the comparison of different ideas.
