North American Computational Linguistics Olympiad

In late January some of our students participated in the North American Computational Linguistics Olympiad Open Round at Dalhousie. Emma McLean, Gr.11, won this round, Maria Samman, Gr.10, placed 2nd, and Hanna Garnier, Gr.12, placed 4th for our region. Emma's results were in the top 10% of the entire Open Round in Canada and the United States (1700 students participated), so this moved her on to the Invitational Round which she wrote on March 12. Emma made it as an alternate for the Canadian Team who will compete in the International Olympiad in Bulgaria in July.  Congratulations to Emma, Maria and Hanna!
