Tarcin's Charge Olympiad is a 3-stage district-wide Computational Thinking Championship for Grades 3–12. Maths, Logic, Reasoning, Python & AI — Applied problem solving, Zero MCQ. Powered by contest.tarcin.in.
Every school tests maths and logic internally. But there's no credible benchmark that tells a student — or their parent — exactly how sharp they are compared to their own peers across the district.
Internal exams compare students only within the same school. Parents and college admissions offices have no external, verifiable proof of a student's computational thinking ability.
Every existing olympiad uses tick-box MCQ. A student can score 90% by elimination or guessing — without solving a single real problem. That is not a skill test.
Individual trophies don't reflect the School. There's no competition where a school as an institution competes and ranks its schools against each other on a single leaderboard.
This is an inclusive district-wide championship. Every student competes internally in Round 1. Top performers advance to the District Championship to secure the Charge Flagship School title, unlocking the path to the State Finals.
Qualifiers are allocated per category. More registrations = more Qualifiers selected for the District Championship.
