BIO 2007 took place February - April, 2007. 
The competition was open to all students in full-time pre-university education in mainland Britain,
and involved solving problems against the clock, using nothing more than
pen, paper and a computer.
The BIO consists of three stages. The first is a 3-hour test, the British Informatics Olympiad, which took place in schools during February-March 2007. This involved solving a range of problems using a computer. The second stage is the final, held in Cambridge from 30 March-1 April 2007. The top four finalists made up the team to travel to the 2007 International Olympiad in Informatics, hosted by Croatia.
As well as the possibility of winning a medal - our competitors won over twenty in the last ten years, including four golds - the team enjoyed VIP treatment and get to socialise with contestants from over 75 different countries that will take part.
