The North American Computational Linguistics Open (NACLO) competition is a contest for U.S./Canadian high school and middle school students in which contestants compete by solving compelling and creative puzzles in linguistics and computational linguistics. Winners of NACLO are eligible to compete in the International Linguistics Olympiad (IOL), one of twelve international high school science Olympiads. No prior knowledge of linguistics or second languages is necessary.

Practice Problems (with Solutions)

In the Open Round of the competition on January 26, 2017, 1509 students from across the U.S. and Canada competed at more than 200 sites. The top 10% go on to compete in the Invitational Round. Finally the top finishers in the Invitational Round compete in the International Linguistic Olympiad.  LASA student Evan Hochstein was selected as an alternate for the US team in 2017 –  press release.
