Hello Codeforces!

Ready to get deep?

Take a minute and ask yourselves — what skills are I missing, that I would love to have? What are those key qualities that would take me from being a decent developer to an extraordinary one? Am I where I want to be, in terms of personal progress?

At Harbour.Space, we focus on the key technical and social requirements of the jobs of the future. Our three-week courses are designed for students to acquire and develop specific skills through seminars, workshops, projects, and case studies in a very short amount of time.

Mike Mirzayanov’s course, Advanced Algorithms and Data Structures, is a great example of this:

This, in combination with our unique academic environment, extensive professional network, and our seaside campus in the beautiful city of Barcelona, provides for a truly unique learning experience.

Interested?

Fill out the form below, get more information, and see how you can come attend Mike’s course to see what all the fuss is about!

See you soon!

Hello Codeforces!

We hope your summer is going well!

Last Friday we finished the second edition of the Tech Scouts Summer Camp, with 70 participants, 20 different nationalities and many solved problems. We had 6 participants with a full scholarship thanks to the collaboration between Harbour.Space and Codeforces and we are working on increasing this number next year.

We would also like to remind you that we offer scholarships for our technical programmes, such as Computer Science, Data Science and Cyber Security.

They are set in such a way that doesn’t require additional applications — we believe in merit and potential, and so what you put in your application to the university will be our criteria.

You could be just the diamond we’re looking for, but you’ll never know unless you apply!
