Perfect Companion to CT Learning

How Stepo Olympiad Connects with CT Platform

If you're already teaching CT concepts using our platform, the CTO is the natural next step for your students to demonstrate and compete.

📚

Curriculum Alignment

CTO content directly maps to the decomposition, abstraction, pattern recognition, and algorithm concepts taught in CT Platform lessons.

🎯

Student Motivation

A structured exam with recognition motivates students to deepen their CT understanding beyond classroom activities.

🏫

School Recognition

National-level recognition for your school's CT programme reinforces the value of the teaching work you're already doing.

📊

Teacher Assessment Tool

Olympiad results give teachers objective data on which CT concepts students have mastered and where support is needed.
