ACTS is an intensive, 11-day coding camp, featuring teaching from top-tier experts.
Designed for high-school students aged 16–19 with a strong national or international competition results, ACTS offers a chance to train intensively and take your skills to the next level.
The program is structured around two distinct tracks, Competitive Programming and Software Engineering, allowing coders to specialise their growth:
For students who love building products and winning hackathons. Learn from industry engineering experts, develop a team project from scratch, and present your result at the end of the camp.
For students who love algorithms and contests. Master key and advanced topics, train for olympiads all the way up to IOI level, go beyond the IOI syllabus with unique sessions from world-renowned experts, and finish with a team contest.
Our schedule is designed for maximum learning and enjoyment. The camp schedule is as follows (but is subject to change as necessary):
Evenings are for non-academic events, including quizzes, sports games, treasure hunts, origami workshops, networking with students from around the world, and enjoying time together in Germany.
In the second half of the day, participants will explore topics beyond the main tracks, from bioinformatics and SAT solvers to compilers and AI agents, plus practical sessions preparing you for life after school graduation.
Mandatory classes take place in the first half of the day. In the CP track, students usually choose between level-based lectures and training contests (for example: Flows, Advanced Flows, Gomory–Hu Tree, IOI-style contest). In the SE track, mornings combine expert-led sessions with continuous team work on a real project, with clear feature ownership and regular feedback.




The Entrance Contest will be conducted this year with proctoring. This requires candidates to record their full screen and webcam using OBS for the duration of the contest.
