The Andover Computing Open
ABOUT US
The Andover Computing Open (TACO) is an annual computing competition for middle school students and above organized and run entirely by students at Phillips Academy Andover. TACO brings together students from across the world to challenge themselves with engaging problems in computer science and programming.
