Bronze Medal for ACSer Nora Paskaleva at the International Advanced Informatics Tournament

477 students from 17 countries competed at the International Advanced Informatics Tournament (IATI) held in Shumen April 17-21, 2024. High school students in two age groups - senior for Grades 11-12 and junior for Grades 9-10 - from Bulgaria, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Egypt, Israel, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Pakistan, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and others participated. ACS eleventh grader Nora Paskaleva won a bronze medal in the senior age group. Congratulations!

Shumen University was the organizer of the international tournament, which was held jointly with the National Spring Tournament in Informatics. At the national spring tournament, Nora took third place in her age group. ACS 9th grader Maria Nedkova also performed excellently and received a diploma for successful participation. In the overall ranking for Group A for Grades 9-12, in addition to Nora, another ACSer, 10th grader Kaloyan Stefanov, was awarded a diploma for his excellent performance.

As a result of their achievements at the competitions, for the first time in our history we have two girls in the extended national team in Informatics - Nora and Maria. Both are at the top in their respective grade level rankings for the 2023-24 school year. Well done!

Kudos to the Competitive Informatics Club with Nora Paskaleva as president, where the students, with the support of Dr. Rositsa Todorova and Dr. Paulina Todorova, have been preparing hard this school year for these various prestigious competitions.

Congratulations to Nora, Maria, Kaloyan and their tireless teachers!
