I just returned from another camp, the longest ever. I've been in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 for 12 days, teaching around 20 students. The goal of the camp was to prepare students to shape their team for IOI.

After teaching in camps in Syria, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Croatia, and India, this was yet another incredible experience of helping students push closer to their competitive programming goals.

I really enjoyed working with students, as usual; or maybe even more. There were three levels of students, and working with each of them was interesting. Again, I learned new things by teaching them to students, as usual.

The camp was hosted by KAUST, which is a very beautiful place.

I covered the following topics in our classes: Sack, DP, Games, Trie, Segment Tree, Arpa's trick, NSJ, and Backtrack. None of them were taught by me; they discovered it themselves, because my style of teaching is to never teach, but let students teach themselves.

I would like to thank the organizers for the invitation and the students for making it such a joyful experience.
