    450$ includes accommodation, full board meals, curriculum (lectures, contests, analysis), excursions. Travel costs such as transfer from Minsk to Grodno and back are included, but a ticket to Home-Minsk-Home is on your expense.

    A1.

    Div.B is for students who have proficient experience in competitive programming and strong skills in data structures, It is for students who want to prepare for regional contests (semifinals mainly) and for the ICPC World Finals. The program of Division B contains non-thematic contests of level equal to regional contests or higher (some contests may be in common to Division A; analyses of all contests are provided) and lectures with following thematic contests on topics of high level (possible topics are max flow algorithms, building of suffix array/tree/automaton, long multiplication, and division using Fast Fourier Transformation, persistent data structures etc).

    Div.C for those students who have little experience in competitive programming and basic skills in solving algorithmic problems and want to prepare for subregional contests (quarterfinals and ICPC qualifications). The program of Division C contains advanced algorithms and data structures: finding shortest paths in weighted graphs, segment trees, finding patterns in text (prefix-function, z-function, tries), dynamic programming in submasks etc. Those are only examples, the program of the workshops will be submitted upon registered participants experience.

    A2. Absolutely yes, all school students are very welcome to participate!
