NATIONAL JUNIOR INFORMATICS OLYMPIAD 2026
National Junior Informatics Olympiad (NJIO) an innovative approach designed to spark students’ interest in programming by leveraging the principles of computational thinking and block programming. This statement explains how NJIO accomplishes this goal by breaking down complex problems into manageable parts, fostering an engaging and accessible learning environment.
National Junior Informatics Olympiad (NJIO) integrates computational thinking into its core, a problem-solving process that involves understanding a problem, breaking it down into manageable parts, identifying patterns, abstracting the problem into a generalizable solution, and designing algorithms to solve it. This method teaches students to approach problems like a computer scientist, enhancing their analytical skills and making the programming process more logical and less intimidating. By engaging with computational thinking, students develop a foundational skill set that not only piques their interest in programming but also equips them with the tools necessary to tackle complex challenges in a systematic and efficient manner.
