To participate in the Academy, you must meet the following requirements:
IT background (technical school or classes)
Currently in the 10th, 11th or 12th grade
Availability to dedicate approximately 2-3 hours daily to the project
Each Academy edition lasts 3 weeks.
We invite all participants to the opening and closing events. The rest of the meetings will be coordinated with their teams and mentors in the most convenient way for them.
One of the Academy's goals is to simulate a real working environment and enhance your teamwork skills. Participants will be grouped into teams with people from different schools.
Each team will work on the same project. This year's challenge has not been revealed yet, but in previous editions, participants developed a homework submission platform and a CV-building platform.
The mentors are volunteers from various companies. They will help you structure your tasks, provide advice on how to approach the assignment, and answer any questions you might have.
On the last day of the Academy, each team will present their results during the closing ceremony in front of a jury. The jury, composed of representatives from the business, municipality, and education sectors, will choose the winners.
