Our school is the first step towards independent work in an IT company. We will not deal with solving Olympiad problems or preparing for the exam. Our goal is to show how to work in a team, to try our hand at a research project in the field of machine learning, programming languages, in real industrial development. Participants will be able to implement their first project and understand whether they are ready to engage in machine learning or software engineering.

First stage: from 22 to 28 March, remotely

At this stage, participants will receive an advanced course on algorithms from Sergey Kopeliovich.
