Impacto de Treinamento em Programação Competitiva no Ensino Médio: Resultados e Desafios

Abstract: This article presents an ongoing research aiming to develop an effective methodology for teaching programming, focusing on participation in the Brazilian Informatics Olympiad (OBI), for elementary and high school students. The training conducted with students from the Federal Institute and state schools, demonstrates the importance of programming training programs as a way to promote interest in computing, stimulate the development of computational skills, and increase participation in competitions such as the OBI. The next steps of the research include conducting more training cycles and analyzing the results obtained in the competitions.
