Harbour.Space University, the International Tournament of Young Mathematicians (ITYM) and Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) are proud to announce a special high schooler's online test, May 26th at 15.00 CET Time. The test will gauge your level in both maths and computer science and give a chance to win two weeks in a math and computer science summer camp for gifted youth Tech Scouts, taught in English for ages 12-18, held 16-29 of July in Barcelona, Spain.

You can take part in the online test if all the following conditions are met:

  1. Between the ages of 12 to 18,
  2. Have not graduated high school,
  3. Eligible to take part in IOI/IMO 2019.

The top performers of the online contest will be invited for a personal interview to demonstrate understanding of the problems solved during the contest. After the test, the 100 most successful performers will be interviewed, and the top will be awarded a full tuition waiver to attend the advanced level of the Technical Track of Tech Scouts.

Tech Scouts is designed to lay out the foundation of knowledge in mathematics and computer science for the next phase of higher learning. During a two-week intensive training, the students will follow a college level curriculum and discover their passions by getting to know one of Europe’s leading institutions in design, entrepreneurship and technology.

How long is the test?

Are there seperate math problems? Or they're combined with the computer science ones?

Is it like ACM ICPC style or like Olympiad style (is there penalty)?
