What happens once you’re in? Here’s a glimpse at the ACTS Schedule

At HighEdu, we believe that learning thrives in a dynamic and inspiring environment – and that’s exactly what we aim to create. While competitive programming is at the heart of this camp, we also want you to experience the culture, adventure, and camaraderie that make ACTS truly special.

Last year, beyond the challenging contests and insightful workshops, our participants explored Romania’s rich history and breathtaking landscapes. We visited the legendary Bran Castle, known as Dracula’s Castle, and the medieval Râșnov Fortress, offering stunning mountain views. We even had exciting outdoor team games that strengthened friendships and created unforgettable moments.

This year, depending on the amazing location we’re currently selecting, we’ll make sure to show you the best of Romania, whether that means exploring castles, hiking scenic trails, or experiencing vibrant local traditions. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be part of an immersive learning and cultural experience, packed with:

  • Competitive coding challenges. Test your skills against top students from around the world.
  • Expert-led workshops. Learn from some of the brightest minds in computer science and competitive programming.
  • Mentorship sessions. Get personalized feedback to improve your problem-solving approach.
  • Excursions & social events. Take breaks with fun trips and engaging activities.
  • Networking & friendships. Meet like-minded peers who share your passion.
Why join ACTS?

See what’s possible…

When we say ACTS is a life-changing experience, we mean it. It’s more than just a summer camp, it’s a stepping stone to international success. Last year, seventeen of our ACTS participants went on to compete at the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) in Egypt just weeks after the camp ended. Their hard work paid off, earning incredible results on the global stage. Many of them attributed their improved problem-solving speed, algorithmic creativity, and confidence to the intense training and expert mentorship they received at ACTS.

“ACTS was an amazing camp and one of the best events I’ve ever been to. The teachers were excellent, and we had a variety of lectures, competitions, and social activities. The experience was unforgettable.”

Alejandro Vivero
IOI Gold Medalist, Spain

“The camp was amazing. I’m really happy I managed to attend it in my last high-school olympiad year. Everything was organized and made really well, starting from lectures and prepared contests till the free communication with organizers and fun events and activities. I would really love to attend the next edition of ACTS if I was given a chance, and so I would recommend it to anyone. One of the best events in my life.”
