Our friends at Harbour.Space also have a message for you:
Hey Codeforces,
What a crazy month it’s been!
We hope you and your loved ones are taking care of one another and catching up on everything you didn’t have time for on your normal schedules.
We’ve temporarily closed our physical campus and moved our classes online. It’s not as bad as it sounds though — we’ve always known the future is digital, so we were already preparing for this moment. Either way, we’re back.
SPECIAL PRIZE FOR EDU ROUND 85
This digital transformation opens the door to some pretty awesome new opportunities that allow us to get closer to our community, no matter where in the world they are.
That’s why we have a special prize for the next Educational Round, a space in a course of your choice from our Computer Science or Data Science Programs. You’ll be able to study online with us for 1, 2 or 3 weeks under some of the best Data and Computer Scientists in the world, with all fees on us.
The prize will be for the top 3 users who have confirmed their desire to participate in this competition. To sign up for it, leave us your handle in the form below.
Enrollment in the course you will participate in will depend upon the availability of the course, as well as the prerequisites required for that course.
We hope this provides you with extra incentive for the round, and we’re looking forward to seeing some of you soon!
FULL SCHOLARSHIPS FOR BACHELOR’S PROGRAM
On a different note, we’re happy to announce that we’re offering full scholarships for the most talented high school students who want to study in our Computer Science or Data Science Bachelor’s programs at our university.
At the moment, we have two types of scholarships available:
The Full Scholarship. For the best of the best — all tuition costs are covered by the university. Just show up and show us what you’ve got.
The Co-Creator Scholarship. For those who want to help us change education — all tuition costs are covered by the university, and in addition to your studies, you get to help the Harbour.Space team on their mission for 4 hours/day, getting valuable practical experience in the field and working in a team with some of the brightest young professionals in town.
