For the seventh consecutive year, graduate students in the teaching study program of the computer science methodical group, under the organization of Assoc. Prof. Monika Mladenović, have been preparing students for the computer science competition in the category of Algorithm Applications. Professor Goran Zaharija also participated in organizing the preparation of elementary school students for programming competitions.
The national computer science competition took place from April 9th to 12th in Vodice. We are proud to highlight that students from our county achieved remarkable and record-breaking results in all competition categories. We are especially pleased to note that among the students who achieved outstanding results in the Algorithms category (Python), two of them were prepared at the Department of Computer Science. Official results can be seen at this address (https://www.azoo.hr/app/uploads/2024/04/drzavno-natjecanje-iz-informatike-rezultati.pdf).
Here are the highlights:
Student Luka Rančić from Split 3 Elementary School, under the mentorship of teacher Mile Ozretić, won two first places in the Basics of Computer Science and Application of Algorithms for 8th grade.
Student Lav Mlinar from Manuš Elementary School, under the mentorship of teacher Katica Jukić, won two first places and one second place in the Basics of Computer Science, Logo, and Application of Algorithms for 7th grade.
We are especially honored that students for the Algorithm Applications category (Python programming language) were also prepared at the Faculty of Science, Department of Computer Science, as part of the competition preparations. Luka was mentored by Ana Strunje, while Lav was mentored by Valentina Čokić and Assoc. Prof. Goran Zaharija. Both students are in their second year of the graduate program in Computer Science teaching study program.
These achievements are, among other things, the result of successful collaboration between the Teaching bases for computer science methodical exercises and the Faculty.
Congratulations to the students for their outstanding results, as well as to the mentors who are our external collaborators for methodical subjects, and to the students who helped achieve excellent results!
We look forward to the challenges and a new cycle of preparations next year.
