This year Washington State University will again be a local site host for the North American Computational Linguistics Open Competition (NACLO). This annual competition challenges high school students to learn about languages, linguistics, and computation by solving pencil and paper puzzles. January 23rd, 2025 from 9 a.m. to noon students can join us to try their hand at puzzles designed by professionals to engage them with cutting edge issues in these fields. Registration is free and no prior knowledge of linguistics or programming is required. Visit naclo.org for more information, practice problems, and to register.
