During the week of June 23th to June 29th, 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.
The camp is completely free of charge for students studying in Turkey, with accommodation and meals provided by BEV.Foundation.
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 university students in their preparatory, first, second, or third year (with priority given to these years), or high school students applying for a limited number of spots.
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, including Career Talks and CV Review sessions.
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
We believe that the main benefit comes from the opportunity to be surrounded by motivated participants and our algorithm community. Here are some other benefits the camp offers:
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
April 29 - May 31, 2025, until 17.00.
The results will be announced on June 10, 2025. We will accept a limited number of participants.
The winter camp was an intense week spent exploring algorithms in a thoughtful and welcoming environment. Peer learning played an important role throughout the camp and made the whole experience even more valuable. Having participants from different universities and backgrounds brought together a wide range of perspectives, making the experience even richer. inzva’s efforts to build a strong community spirit were key in making the camp both inspiring and engaging. Thanks to the organization’s sincere approach and the care shown by everyone, I truly felt included and motivated to stay connected and contribute even more in the future.
