CS0 is a club at The British School Rio de Janeiro associated with the Computer Science department. The club has three branches with activities related to computer science, programming, engineering, and financing.
Advisor: Oscar Neiva
The CS0 engineering branch focuses on the production of nanosatellite systems. Among the nanosatellite categories, the CS0 developed a CanSat. Cansats have a small set of subsystems, for instance, the power and energy subsystem, sensors subsystem, and communication subsystem.
Ambassador: Arthur Kiyoshi
The programming branch at CS0 focuses on programming olympiads and competitions. The students participating in this branch have C++ and algorithms tutorial sessions to prepare for the Brazilian Informatics Olympiad (Olipíada Brasileira de Informática - OBI). OBI is the Brazilian national competition to select the best students in the country for the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI).
Ambassador: João Pedro Marujo Costa Pinto
The financing branch at CS0 focuses on investments, predictive algorithms, and machine learning.
Ambassador: Miguel Prieto
