Congratulations!

SpringLight Education started USACO training in 2013. Our students received great results on USACO at all levels including finalists. Some of them had been admitted into many top colleges like MIT, Harvard, Stanford, CalTech, Harvey Mudd, UC Berkeley and more other colleges.

Most of the students who attended our USACO training classes and finished the homework qualified the next level like silver, gold level and platinum. Many of them got the perfect score of 1000.

USACO Class Prerequisite

Bronze requirements: Understanding of basic Java or C++. Can write code without syntax errors, and knows basics such as arrays, loops, conditionals.

Silver requirements: Fluency in Java or C++. Ability to consistently solve Bronze problems. You should be very familiar with conditional statements (if/else), loops (for/while), arrays, and strings. Knowledge in classes, object-oriented programming, comparators, iterators, etc. is preferred.

Gold requirements: Ability to consistently solve silver problems. The Gold material assumes knowledge of Silver class material, such as knowing how to do BFS, DFS, and sorting, as well as know how to use standard data structures like arraylists, linked lists, stacks, queues, deques, heaps (priority queues), and binary search trees (TreeMap/map, TreeSet/set).

Platinum Requirements: Already qualified USACO Platinum level.

Instructors

黄老师有着丰富的programming，AP CS 和USACO计算机奥赛的教学经验，并取得了显著的教学成果。黄老师将自己的儿子从USACO最初级铜级（Bronze）带到USACO的最高级白金级（Platinum），而且不少学生满分晋级银级Silver，以及金级Gold和白金级Platinum。黄老师将他丰富的教学及竞赛经验结合生动的例子整理出了一堂堂干货，满满的系统性教学来帮助学生夯实基础，详解算法，解题技巧，逻辑思考，开拓思路。

Mr. Huang has many years of teaching experience in programming, AP CS and USACO. He has guided his son from Bronze to Platinum in the USACO contest. A lot of his students advanced to Silver with full score, and many others advanced to Gold and Platinum. Mr. Huang will lead students from computational theories to the strategy of coding with contest examples.
