More than 16,000 students have participated in AILO since its launch in 2009. It aims to encourage teens to sharpen their problem-solving skills and to consider the exciting careers at the intersection of computing, linguistics and language. More than 90% of participants report that the contest has helped them hone their problem-solving skills.

The top 4 performers in this year’s Olympiad will win the opportunity to represent Ireland at the International Linguistics Olympiad in Prague, Czech Republic in July 2018.
