NACLO is a contest for US and Canadian high-school students in which contestants compete to solve compelling and creative puzzles in linguistics and computational linguistics. Requiring no previous knowledge of linguistics, languages, or computing, these puzzles can be solved by analytic reasoning alone, and serve as a fun introduction to a field to which many high school students have never been introduced. Registration opens in mid-September. I register as a high school site so make sure you register under our school or ask me to do your registration. Round 1: January 26, 2017 -4th Fl.

The Astronomy Olympiad is a series of tests written to select the most competitive individuals to compose a 5-person team representing the USA at the International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics. The first round is a multiple-choice test that will be administered in late January of 2017. The competitors who score within the top 50% will go on to the next round of competition, which will be held around March. Eligibility for the first two rounds is not dependent on nationality, but only US citizens and permanent residents can represent the US at the 11th IOAA during December 2017.
