We partnered up with hundreds of NGOs, schools, universities, youth groups from across the world to bring the CS Olympiad to their community and students. The government of the Philippines also extended their support and encouraged their schools network to take part in the competition.

"A OCS é uma oportunidade incomparável para desenvolver conhecimentos ambientais e conhecer pessoas com interesses parecidos. Ela te faz pensar além do currículo tradicional e te mostra um pouco sobre as decisões que os líderes globais precisam fazer em relação ao clima. A OCS vai expandir o seu conhecimento ambiental e possibilitar que você se torne um escritor e cientista melhor."
