The final stage of the TechnoCup sports programming Olympiad was held at the Saint Petersburg Polytechnic University. The competition is designed to support talented students in grades 8–11 who are interested in IT and programming.
“Technocup” is included in the list of the Russian Council of School Olympiads. On March 2, the best young programmers from all over Russia took part in the final round. The stage was also held at the sites of other major universities, such as MSTU, MIPT, Innopolis University and many others.
80 children from St. Petersburg and other regions arrived at SPbPU to demonstrate their programming skills. They had to complete a number of tasks and write their own program. They were given three hours to do this. One of the partners of the Olympiad is the Russian social network VKontakte. The participants received gifts from it and were also able to learn more about the company’s activities at a quiz from company representatives.
One of the participants shared his impressions of the Olympiad: The tasks were difficult but interesting, requiring deep knowledge of algorithms and quick thinking. It was also useful to communicate with representatives of VKontakte and learn about the specifics of their work. Participation in the Olympiad gave me a powerful incentive to develop further and improve my skills.
