The British Informatics Olympiad is the computing competition for schools and colleges. We are proud to present BIO 2006, sponsored by Lionhead Studios.
The 2006 British Informatics Olympiad

BIO 2006 took place February - April, 2006. The competition was open to all students in full-time pre-university education in mainland Britain, and involved solving problems against the clock, using nothing more than pen, paper and a computer.

The BIO consists of three stages. The first is a 3-hour test, the British Informatics Olympiad, which took place in schools during February-March 2006. This involved solving a range of problems using a computer. The second stage was the final, held in Cambridge from 31 March-2 April 2006. The top four finalists made up the team to travel to the 2006 International Olympiad in Informatics, hosted by Mexico.

As well as the possibility of winning a medal - our competitors won over twenty in the last ten years, including four golds - the team enjoyed VIP treatment and get to socialise with contestants from over 75 different countries that will take part.
