We’re happy to announce we’ve just launched Discover the World Programming Workshop. The registration is now open!

The workshop will be held online from the 6th till the 11th of September 2020. You will have five contests, lectures and problems analyses during these days. Time zone will suit the majority of the registered participants. Participation is paid.

Suppose you don’t have time to participate online simultaneously with everyone. In that case, you’ll be able to reach the contests anytime you like during a month after the start and and watch recorded lectures and problem analyses.

Participants are welcome to register in the following divisions:

div A/B — high difficulty, suitable for the current ICPC finalists and regional ICPC TOP-100 teams. This division will work well for those whose Codeforces rating is between 1900 and 2400

div C — middle difficulty, suitable for the participants of regional ICPC contests with Codeforces rating between 1500 and 1900

div D is for the beginners at algorithmic programming. Participants should be familiar with basic programming concepts (variables, conditional operators, loops, arrays, functions) in (at least) one programming language (C, C++, Java, Kotlin, Pascal, Python).

Workshop schedule

September, 6-8: lectures, contests and analyses

September, 9: day off

September, 10-11: lectures, contests and analyses

Can someone please explain why is this post getting downvotes? I don't get what's wrong with it. I personally have attended a workshop organized by mipt and I think it was very well organized and helpful to me.

    Probably because it is not a free event.

      People should not expect to get everything for free, there are a lot of people who work hard in order to make these kinds of workshops happen and they should get paid in some way for the effort they put.

I cannot find the workshop in the list https://discover.it-edu.com/en/. Could you please explain (there are Baikal and Kyrgyzstan for divisions B, C/D and Izhevsk for divisions 1, 2/3)? Any information about number of already registered teams would be also very helpful.
