HIGH PERFORMANCE PROGRAMS BY INVITATION
We can open up pathways for outstanding young problem solvers, giving them the possible opportunity to showcase their talents on the world stage.
Our best and brightest in maths and computational thinking are often invited to take part in the pathway programs run by the Australian Mathematical Olympiad Committee (AMOC) and the Australian Informatics Olympiad Committee (AIOC).
Maths, Informatics and Science Olympiads participation
Sometimes students receive invitations to participate in multiple Olympiad programs in the same year. Due to the significant time commitment for these activities, Australian Science Innovations and the Australian Maths Trust do not permit students to participate in more than one Olympiad program. Students who are invited to train in multiple Olympiad pathways will need to decide on one subject to pursue per year.
Maths opportunities by invitation
To be considered for an invitation to maths—invitational opportunities training, students need to have achieved outstanding results in the Australian Mathematics Competition or one of the three modules under Maths for Young Australians.
Events for Olympiad level young mathematicians may include: training schools, the AMOC Senior Contest, the Australian Mathematical Olympiad, the Asian Pacific Mathematics Olympiad.
Every year, and following on from these events, four Australian girls will be selected to represent Australia at the European Girls’ Mathematical Olympiad and six students will be selected to represent Australia at the International Mathematical Olympiad.
Informatics opportunities by invitation
Students with strong performance at the Australian Informatics Olympiad may be invited to participate in special mentoring and participate in exclusive events.
Events for Olympiad-level young mathematicians may include: Australian Invitational Informatics Olympiad, the Asia Pacific Informatics Olympiad, and the French-Australian Regional Informatics Olympiad.
Each year, competitors are selected to represent Australia at the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI), the peak competition in computer science for high school students around the world.
The Olympiad programs are supported by the Australian Government Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources through the Science Competitions: Mathematics and Informatics Olympiads grant opportunity. The Olympiad programs are also supported by the Trust’s National Sponsor of the Australian Informatics and Mathematical Olympiads, Optiver.
The AMT’s EGMO initiative received grant funding from the Australian Government through the Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources under the Inspiring Australia – Science Engagement Programme.
