Today Russian IT-University has opened the Summer School for Olympiad Training in Programming. During 10 days, 79 students of 8-11 forms from 22 regions of the Russian Federation and 3 CIS countries will undergo a special training. 

The Summer School will help children to improve their theoretical and practical skills in programming in order to take part in various regional, federal and international academic competitions. Agenda of the Summer School includes the following topics: Graph Theory Algorithms, Game Theory Algorithms, Number Theory Algorithms, Data Structures for Text Processing, Dynamic Programming and Algorithms for Big Data Processing.

As part of the agreement between MAYKOR and Innopolis University that foresees joint work on engagement of children and young people in IT professions, MAYKOR, a leading Russian provider of IT and business-processes outsourcing services, has became the general partner of the educational project.

Based on results of the Summer School, participants will obtain certificates and souvenirs. The brightest students will receive gifts from Innopolis University and MAYKOR.

"IT is a field where professional development should begin as early as possible.   We are delighted that business shows interest to events aimed at engaging youth in IT and strengthening their knowledge in programming. We hope to see many of the participants of the summer school as students at Innopolis University, and soon they will be creating new technology for Russian companies" - said Olga Kornienko, Head of Subject-Oriented Academic Competitions Office of Innopolis University.

Apart from support of subject-oriented academic competitions, cooperation between MAYKOR and Innopolis University includes organization of workshops for students held by the company's top-managers, joint IT staff training events and involvement of the University in MAYKOR's projects in developing cloud solutions.

We believe that supporting subject-oriented academic competitions in schools means working for the future.

That is why we are interested in new talented IT employees. Of course, we strive to be an attractive employer for them", - said Irina Semenova, Vice President of Marketing at MAYKOR.
