By MiptLited, 9 years ago, translation, In English

Warning! The dates of the Winter Computer Camp have shifted one day ahead!

Update: due to technical difficulties, English speaking participants couldn't participate in the fourth selection round. Due to this, the Organizing Committee decided to carry out another selection round on 14 February at 15:00 Moscow Time. Everyone is invited to participate in this round, but preference will be given to foreign participants preeminently.

From 25 February to 5 March 2016, the Moscow Insitute for Physics and Technology will host the seventh Winter Computer Camp 2016 (WCC-2016) in the city of Dolgoprudny. Students of upper grades are welcome to participate.

The program of the camp includes::

  • Daily studying contests: preparation to the finals of the Open Olympiad, finals of national programming Olympiads.

  • Olympiads in programming and mathematics.

  • Lectures by workers of base organizations of FIHT about actual tasks in the IT Industry.

  • Lectures by professional scientists on combinatorial mathematics.

  • Sports and intellectual games.

How to get to the school:

  1. Fill in the registration form.
  2. Participate in the online selection rounds for the camp. Pay attention that the selection is conducted thoroughly in compliance with the results of the selection rounds.

**the dates and time of the rounds can change, follow the information on [our website].(http://it-edu.mipt.ru/en/zksh2016).

Cost of participation:

  • Free participation is guaranteed to the winners and prizers of the final stage of the All-Russian Olympiad for School Students (or CIS Olympiads) in Informatics and Mathematics.

  • 9900 for winners and awardees of the ALl-Russian Team Olympiad for School Students in Programming and the Open Olympiad for School Students in Programming.

  • 15900 rubles for participants of the final stage of national Olympiads for school students in informatics and mathematics

  • 28900 rubles for other participants.

For any occuring questions, leave messages on the organizing committee email: zksh-team@phystech.edu

The head of programming committee of Winter Computer Camp 2016 is Endagorion.

The Winter Computer Camp is traditionally unique for its line-up of participants: Dolgoprudny hosts large numbers of capable students who already have achievements in All-Russian and National Olympiads of different countries. Preparation of contests is performed by young teachers, professors and students — prize-winners of All-Russian Olympiads for School Students and ACM ICPC student tournaments. Therefore, participation in the WCC-2016 serves as a "final rehearsal" before the Finals of the Open Olympiad and the All-Russian Olympiad in Informatics.

    As far as I know, lectures will be in russian, so you should have sufficient russian skills to understand russian speaking

      I think the information about which language the camp is in should be, like, the first thing in the announcement (at least in its English version).

    You are welcome. Last year there was rafael859 together with us, and the local staff gave him a dedicated lecture on English and translated statements too. So I am sure you can!

    The website says, and I quote ~~~~~ Logins and passwords are sent out in several steps when a tour nears the beginning. In order to receive your login and password, you need to register up until one hour before the beginning of the tour. The rules can be found in the block to the right or by following the link the link. ~~~~~

    There's around 10 minutes to start of round 4, but I haven't received my login yet. I also emailed them some time back, but haven't received a reply yet.
