Congratulations to senior Swapnil Garg, who last weekend learned that he is officially a member of the United States’ Red team, which will compete at this year’s International Linguistics Olympiad (ILO). Garg ranked sixth overall in North America out of the 153 high school students who moved on to the invitational round of the North American Computational Linguistics Olympiad (NACLO). He soon will begin training with his teammates for the ILO, which is set to take place July 26-30 in Prague.
Ten Harker students have moved on to the invitational round of the North American Computational Linguistics Olympiad! Seniors Swapnil Garg, Joanna Lin, Rajiv Movva and Derek Yen; juniors Rose Guan, Katherine Tian, Michael Wang and Katherine Zhang; Rishi Dange, grade 10; and Luisa Pan, grade 9, will take part in the next stage of the contest next week for a chance at eligibility to compete in the International Linguistics Olympiad in Prague this summer.
About 1,700 students compete in NACLO every year, solving linguistic puzzles developed by professionals in various linguistic fields. Problems tackled during the contest include translating languages into English, solving arithmetic problems written in other languages, and deciphering writing systems and using them to compose a text. Congratulations and best of luck to these 10 next week!
