ICSC 2025 Information
What is ICSC?
The ICSC is a global educational program that combines computer science with advanced mathematics. Students challenge their logical thinking through algorithmic problem-solving, mathematical proofs, and computational complexity theory. The competition bridges the gap between pure mathematics and practical computer science applications.
Who can participate?
Middle school, high school, and university students of all grades and from all countries are invited to participate. We have three age categories:
Junior
10th Grade and below (< 16 years)
Youth
11th to 13th Grade (< 19 years)
Senior
1st Year College/University and higher (or ≥ 19 years)
Prizes and Awards
Showcase your mathematical and computational abilities and compete for cash prizes, certificates, and global recognition. The prizes are worth upwards of 1000 USD for outstanding performance in mathematical problem-solving and algorithmic thinking.
- 1st, 2nd, 3rd Cash Prizes for each age category
- National Awards for top performers from each country
- Bronze, Silver, and Gold Honours for Finalists
- Special Honours for outstanding submissions
- Official Participation Certificates for all participants
