USACO Silver

USACO Silver Part II

Silver level is the first serious step of USACO competition. One must master a variety of algorithms to be able to pass this level. This is why Star League Silver curriculum is twofold: Foundations courses (Part I and Part II) and Problem Solving. Foundations courses teaches the necessary algorithms. Part II is the second course in the series. See the curriculum tab below for covered topics.

This course is an integral part of the Silver training as the Part I. 

The class is language agnostic. Instructors use pseudo language when necessary to explain programming concepts. However, they are able to help both Java and C++ users when they need help. They also present necessary syntax and language constructs in Both Java and C++ when necessary.

Each class features lecture teaching the topic of the day and several past USACO problems or related exercise questions. After the presentation of a problem instructor demonstrates how to identify the need to use the content of the day's lecture and steers the students towards an acceptable solution through critical questions and hints. At the end the instructor wraps up the discussion and provides a clear solution that demonstrates the usefulness of the day's topic. Students are expected to implement their solution or the presented solution during the Practice time.

During the Practice hours of the day students will get individual help, such as for debugging, to implement the solutions. They will also be able to ask and get clarification about any challenging concepts they encounter during their coding practice.

Student must have finished Silver Part I course.

I finally passed the Bronze level in the recent December setting. It really helped me pass the level.
Extremely Satisfied Bronze Mini Camp Participant
I wish the camp was longer, I really liked it! :D The teachers were great, and the difficulty was challenging but fun. Thank you!
R. N. Mini Camp Student
The camp was one of the best I've been to. It had great teachers and staff, and I was able to learn while having fun.
Nikhil P. Winter Camp Student
Best educational camp with supportive teachers and good vibes.
Evan W. Winter Camp Student
Camp was inspirational to furthering any pursuit in mathematics, both during school and the time following it.Teachers were supportive and amicable and my knowledge [strengthened].
E. C. Summer Camp Student
Even with very little experience with programming in general, I was able to understand Competitive Programming concepts with ease thanks to Star League Instructors. They were also extremely patient, and took time to extensively explain every concept. I can attest to their dedication and passion for what they do, and I would highly recommend it for students who are interested in going into any problem solving field!
Daeyong K. Online Class Student
The camp was great in general and I enjoyed every moment.
Joshua J Summer Camp Student
I like the challenge level of the classes and the motivation that the teachers gave us. We could make friends with a lot of talented people and have fun!
Elaine C. Summer Camp Student
This camp was very fun and solved many problem sets and actually USACO problems. Clearly learned all the topics need for the division and [had] great teacher support.
Tony C. Summer Camp Student
I started this camp with no knowledge whatsoever about coding, and now I am comfortable coding programs.
Jason L. Summer Camp Student
This camp has taught me a lot in such a short time and the teaching style was fun, clear, and easy to comprehend. There were many activities such as board games, tournaments, and outside sports to entertain yourself.
