Go for Gold initiative: Go for Gold is a non-profit program launched in 2010 to enable Indian teams to excel at the world finals of the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest, an annual multi-tiered competitive programming competition. The Go for Gold cup will be awarded to the Indian team that finishes at a higher rank than any other Indian team has reached in the history of the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest World Finals. CodeChef for Schools program: CodeChef for Schools aims to stimulate programmers at the grass root level to create a self-sustaining community of technology developers. The initiative hopes to enable Indian students to excel at the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI), one of the five academic Olympiads for high-school students worldwide. The CodeChef for Schools program has started by tapping school children from class 8 onwards and has pledged a yearly support of US$20,000 for this initiative. Monthly contests: CodeChef hosts a 10 day long contest and two short contests every month 〔http://www.developeriq.in/articles/2014/oct/30/interview-with-anupkalbalia-senior-project-lead-at/〕 - one designed to resemble the International Olympiad in Informatics and the other based on the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest. These competitions provide a contest hosting platform to educational institutions for free. The top two winners of the long contest win cash prizes while the top 10 global teams win tee-shirts.〔http://www.dnaindia.com/pune/report-iit-bombay-techfest-launches-three-international-competitions-1895721〕〔http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/education/news/42-teams-to-take-part-in-ACM-contest-at-IIT-Kanpur/articleshow/17177047.cms〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CodeChef」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
