Classes

Mandatory classes take place in the first half of the day. You’ll be able to choose between level-based lectures and training contests.

Options for the day can look like this:

Flows (max-flow and min-cut, basic flow algorithms like Ford-Fulkerson and Edmonds-Karp)
Advanced Flows (how to find the flow of minimum cost, Hungarian algorithm)
Gomory-Hu Tree (hardcore math to describe all pairwise minimal cuts in the graph)
IOI-style contest

Extra lectures

After lunch, you can explore topics beyond the main tracks, such as bioinformatics, SAT solvers, compilers, and AI agents. Practical sessions will also be available to help you prepare you for life after school graduation.
