Academic Competition: California Informatics Competition / CALICO (Fall)

January 16, 2026

In November 2025, our students participated in the California Informatics Competition / CALICO (Fall) either online or in their respective exam center.


California Informatics Competition (CALICO) is hosted by the Open Computing Facility (OCF) at the University of California, Berkeley. The standout feature of this challenge is its close alignment with the renowned computer science courses at Berkeley, including CS61A (Introduction to Computer Science), CS61B (Data Structures and Algorithms), and CS170 (Computer Science Seminar). By participating in this challenge, students can gain a deeper understanding of computer science and feeling of the University of California, Berkeley.



The goal of CALICO is to promote the understanding of useful algorithms and encourage students to grow their problem-solving skills. The distinct feature is that the difficulty of the questions incrementally increases, including basic programming concepts and university-level programming content.


A special shout out to the students from SHSID for their outstanding performance during the exam: they have won 4 National Silver.



Congratulations to all our award-winning students! We appreciate every student’s hard work and participation in this contest. May our students continue to demonstrate their excellence and sharpen their skills in the years to come, reaching for new heights of success!
