The Institute of Information Technology Professionals South Africa (IITPSA) has announced the South African team for the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI 2021), where informatics students from around the world will compete against each other in June this year.
The team of four was selected after a lengthy process in which the top participants in the IITPSA Computer Programming Olympiad 2020 were trained and prepared for the IOI over several months.
After preliminary training rounds at UCT, the four members of the South African team were selected recently.
They are: Andi Qu (18), formerly of St John’s College and now working prior to studying at MIT. Andi has taken part in two previous IOI contests. The first was in person in Baku, Azerbaijan in 2019. In the 2020 IOI, he took part online from Stellenbosch University and earned a strong bronze medal, scoring above two thirds of the 441 IOI contestants from 87 countries.
