Language

Sessions are taught in Polish, so your child needs to be comfortable following along in Polish. No programming experience is needed for the beginner track.

Why join?

01

Problem solving

Olympiad problems build logical thinking and algorithmic skill — the kind that keeps paying off in every technical subject later on.

02

Community

Your child works alongside peers with the same interests, somewhere that takes those interests seriously.

03

Who teaches

The first session is led by Daniel Olkowski, founder of OKI. The rest are run by StratsLab engineers.
