The students continue to train hard and prepare for individual and team championships. You can join their training too! The ����Vlog��ý MIREA team is always open to everyone. Twice a week we gather in our club in room D108 to solve and “code” interesting (and not so interesting) problems in the company of like-minded people, twice a week we give lectures for beginners and advanced learners. Recordings of all classes for the last 3 years are always available on the MIREA Sports Programming YouTube channel, and all the most interesting things are published in our telegram chat, telegram channel and VK group, which have the same name.

If you join us right now, you will have time to get adapted and take to solving Olympiad problems and participate in the Russian team championship in algorithmic programming “RuCode 6.5”, which will be held on April 23 in several divisions, including the division for beginners.
