Timetable Foundation Tutoring Become a tutor

Programming camp for ambitious students

Have fun with friends, learn programming
and train for Olympiads

Learn algorithms

You will prepare for Olympiads and other competitions by solving programming problems and developing creative thinking skills. The Olympic workshops will be held in a competition-like format, so you can get used to it before real competitions. Our camps have a friendly atmosphere – instead of competing, we aim to help each other.

Make friends and have fun

Our camps attract personalities in all shapes and sizes, who have one thing in common – a passion for thinking. We will provide you with lots of opportunities to meet people, bond with them, and make memories you will never forget in the form of organising activities, but also giving you freedom during leisure time.

Develop a programming project

You will have an opportunity to develop a usable, tangible software project in teams or individually. It will be a chance to put your skills to a test, develop them, and see what it is like to work as a software developer. Tutors are looking forward to help you understand new technology and use it in practice.

Take part in

Algorithmics contests and workshops

Each day, you will have choice to either participate in an Olympiad - like competition on one of two difficulty levels or learn the basics of Algorithmics during interactive, problem solving - oriented workshops. For those who want to dive deep into a more advanced algorithmic concept, on two days there will be more advanced workshops: Skydiving Workshops, followed by a thematic contest with problems related to the topic of the workshop.

Fun activities

Every day there will be activities designed for the participants to relax, make friends, and have fun. There will be a range of different fun things to do, such as learning a dance routine, a board games night, or Powerpoint Karaoke. Everything will be carried out in accordance with epidemiological regulations and in awareness of the participants’ safety.

Building your own project

You will have an opportunity to get practical experience by developing an AI program playing Draughts. Firstly during workshops you will learn the basics of AI. Then during a hackaton you will put your knowledge to practise and test your ideas. You will collaborate on your project in a small team with your peers, learn how to work in agile workflow and use git for version control (essential skills to put on your CV when applying for internships).

Non-academic days

There will be 2 non-academic days. The first one will be designed for participants to either relax or finish unsolved tasks. You will be able to play sports or stay at the facility, solve problems and discuss them with tutors. During the second one there will be a fun trip for the entire camp. During both days there will be self - development workshops in the evening.

Camp Coordinator

„We can make the world better by good design”

Anna is an engineer at heart – she loves cooperating with other people to solve challenging problems and come up with original solutions. She currently studies Civil Engineering at University College London, where she is particularly involved in topics related to sustainable design. She loves getting involved in projects that are related to innovative approaches to education. Anna sees STEM subjects as the most effective way to improve other people’s life, that’s why she actively promotes Engineering degrees as the Engineers Without Borders Society board member at her university. She often eats breakfasts for dinner and engages in random conversations with people on the London tube.

Alex

Academic coordinator

“Mathematics is like donuts – I like donuts.”

For Alex, problem solving, learning about abstract theories, and programming are the most pleasurable ways to spend free time. Alex is studying Computer Science at the University of Cambridge and achieved numerous awards at Mathematics, Informatics, and Economics olympiads, including seven medals at international competitions and a bronze medal at IMO 2020 (International Mathematical Olympiad). She also leads the front-end team working on the Meet IT platform. Alex teaches people regardless of their level of advancement – the only important thing is that they are fascinated by maths and do not consider a night spent on solving maths problems as wasted.

Krzysztof

Mikołaj is a certified veteran of many science camps. He achieved many awards in competitive programming, including a silver medal at Baltic Olympiad in Informatics. Currently, he is studying Computer Science at University of Warsaw. Mikołaj is very keen at spreading the passion for algorithms. At his free time, he loves playing Joplin's ragtimes and making random memes using Gimp.

Julia

Welfare officer

“Computer Science is just fancy Math, and Math is just fancy philosophy”

Julia

Welfare officer

“Computer Science is just fancy Math, and Math is just fancy philosophy”

Julia is interested in both science and humanities – if it is an exciting, creative challenge, she is up for it. She loves solving problems and that is why she will be the welfare officer at Meet IT Camp 2021. She also loves making friends and helping others befriend each other, which is another reason. In her spare time she solves competitive programming problems, collects CDs and is a middleman between the STEM and humanities worlds at Meet IT. Whether you want to discuss complex math problems or the existence of god with her, she will be happy to do it.

Opinions of our previous participants

Valeria, Romania

Meet IT Camps – the best STEM camps I could have ever imagined. Olympic activities were challenging and interesting, organised in such a way that one can choose the level they feel comfortable with. The explanations and hints were extremely helpful and I learnt useful algorithms and techniques. There were also lots of cool activities from which you could choose, where I saw wonderful things that I can do in many fields of Computer Science. And last but not least, I will always remember the camp for the wonderful friendships I made and the best, smart, amazing people I met.

Farhan, Bangladesh

Being at one of the Meet IT Camps was one of the best experiences that also added one of the greatest impacts in my life. Travelling 6700 km made me believe in my self-reliant. Not only this but also It gave me the opportunity to stand with big people and made a dream inside me, I could be like them one day. I formed a lot of great friends and best moments with them. Their love, supports, friendly behavior can’t be judged with anything. I can never forget efforts of the organizers in getting my VISA. I literally can’t do anything to payback the experience.

Kasia, Poland

I have been on MeetIT Camp 2 times and I think it was a very well spended time. As I want to study computer science in the future, these trips were especially valuable for me. I could not only learn a lot of things but also get to know interesting people who share similar interests. The atmosphere was brilliant: there were no restrictive rules, we had time to integrate with other participants and, what’s more, organizators were very helpful and kind. These camps were amazing and I recommend to go on one of them to everyone as it is great experience and a lot of unforgettable memories.

Sofiia, Ukraine

That 10 days at Meet IT Camp were wonderful! I had lots of fun solving cool tasks. I was in the first group and problems were very interesting for me and even for IOI medalists they were challenging enough (I couldn’t solve one problem on each contest). I think that this camp is the best place for all who just like programming and all who has some achievements in it;)
