The Cuban Informatics Olympiad is a contest promoted by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Cuba and among its objectives is to promote the study of programming and algorithms in students of pre-university education. The competition has different stages ranging from the school level to the national contest. The structure and format of algorithmic programming skills and main characteristics are analyzed. In recent years, the coding contest has been revamped with the use of an instance of Don Mills Online Judge, an open source online judge. This has allowed the event to be held simultaneously from all the country's provinces, which has been a challenge for students and teachers from the participating Cuban schools.
