Awarding Results of Academic Competitions: Awards of American Computer Science League (ALL STAR)

October 9, 2023

In announcing the results of the American Computer Science League All Star Competition, which was released in September 2023, our students have achieved excellent results.

Under the guidance of Mr. Kang, three 7th-graders from our school (Student Yu, Student Zhao, and Student Chen) achieved the Individual Top Scores award and the Individual Gold award. In addition, a 7th-grader (Student Zhang) achieved the Individual Gold award.

American Computer Science League originated in Silicon Valley, with a history of more than forty years. It is one of the oldest computer coding programs for primary school students in the United States. This league is approved and suggested by both the NASSP (National Association of Secondary School Principals) and the Computer Science Teachers Association. In addition, it is supported by famous technology and education companies such as Google, Adobe, No Starch Press, O' Reilly Media, Pearson, Pragmatic Bookshelf, and Wolfram. As lots of countries start to emphasize on coding education, large amounts of primary school students from the USA, Canada, Europe, Africa, and Asia join and participate in this prestigious event.

The ACSL All Star awards are the following: National Individual Awards: Top Scores, Gold, Silver, Bronze, Honorable Mention. Global Individual Awards: Gold, Silver, Bronze. National Team Awards: Top Scores, Gold, Silver, Bronze, Honorable Mention.

Congratulations to the students who got the awards. We are lucky to be able to share this honor. We wish to see more students from SHSID participating in other international events while improving as time goes on.
