Blanca Huergo
Chairwoman of the Spanish Informatics Olympiad for Girls
About me
I am the Chairwoman of the Spanish Informatics Olympiad for Girls (OIFem), as well as the coach and team leader that trains the Spanish EGOI team. In only two years' time, 3 bronze and 2 silver medals have been achieved, thus leading Spain to be one of the most successful nations in the European competition. I am also one of the instructors the 2021/22 edition of C1b3rwall Academy, an online cybersecurity initiative from the Spanish Police Force with tens of thousands of students worldwide.
I have taught myself how to program, specialising in a competitive setting, which has reaped me huge success, such as a gold medal in the Spanish Informatics Olympiad, putting me in the 4-person team that represented Spain in international competitions, such as CIIC, where I earned an international silver medal, and IOI. I now study Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Oxford.
Having completed over 50 MOOCs from world-renowned universities and companies, I have seen a gap between the material in books and online courses and what is demanded in top-notch competitions. I come to Udemy to share my experience with students hoping to enter this exciting world and to give them the push and knowledge they need to soar through the rankings.
