Algorithm Competition Summer Camp 2024
Applications for the Algorithm Competition Summer Camp 2024 are now open!
During the week of June 24th to June 30th, this intensive seven-day training camp will provide a comprehensive educational experience. It includes challenging contests and engaging activities set in the historic ambiance of Beykoz Kundura. Welcoming algorithm enthusiasts of various skill levels, this event aims to enhance each participant's understanding of algorithms, one of the most essential areas of computer science.
We are glad to announce that this summer camp stands out as a truly unique experience as we will be welcoming an expert group from neighboring countries, including both students and coaches. In addition to fostering greater cross-cultural interactions among participants, this international gathering introduces a wealth of different perspectives and methods for approaching algorithmic problem-solving to the classroom.
Note: BEV.Foundation reserves the right to change or modify any of the conduct, design, and rules of the camp at any time and at BEV.Foundation’s sole discretion.
The camp is SUITABLE FOR those:
Who are undergraduate students studying in the preparatory, first, second or third years.
Who are eager to learn about and wish to practice algorithms, including, but not limited to, binary search, graphs, dynamic programming, and more.
Who have knowledge of at least one programming language.
INCLUDES:
Lectures,
Contests,
Extracurricular activities.
AND AIMS:
To teach a sound knowledge of algorithms to algorithm enthusiasts,
To provide training that will help university students in competitive programming contests, as well as in their professional lives,
To involve algorithm enthusiasts with the algorithm community of inzva,
To spread algorithmic thinking,
To host students studying outside of Istanbul.
MOTIVATION

Receiving knowledge and personal experience from successful students in the community and receiving one-on-one mentorship,
Teaming up with people from your university to participate in both national and international programming contests,
Motivating yourself to improve your knowledge on a subject,
Assessing yourself,
More efficient coding and problem-solving,
Learning teamwork and critical thinking,
Technical adequacy and preparation for interviews,
Joining inzva Algorithm community,
Having a chance to become a lecturer/problem setter for the next inzva Algorithm events.
Having fun :)
APPLICATION PERIOD
May 7, 2023 - June 8, 2024, until 17:00.
The results will be announced on June 13, 2024. We will accept a limited number of participants.
"The winter camp was not just a place for learning algorithms but also a place to relax and feel normal among people. There were a lot of brilliant minds who liked to think and solve problems; they pursued this hobby at the highest level in the country as well. I'm amazed that such a place exists at that level to gather that kind of people. Aside from the social interaction, the lectures were amazingly helpful in comprehending the core of computer engineering and algorithms. I can’t wait for the next organization to be a part of."
