The Program

__ is a program whose goal is to provide high schoolers a selection of individualized, well-rounded activities with the goal of succeeding in the computer science and software engineering fields. To be more specific, our program can help you:

Get your university acceptance
Land an internship in high school
Get your first co-op job in university
Excel in mathematics and computer science competitions

We offer individualized mentorship / guidance in:

Mathematics competitions (with a focus on Waterloo’s math contests e.g. Euclid, CSMC, Fermat, Hypatia)
Computing competitions (with a focus on Waterloo’s Canadian Computing Competition)
High school internships
University applications / admissions

Structure

__ will run year-round, but no yearly commitment is required. We aim to take in a cohort of around 20 students to provide individualized guidance and mentorship.

Contest Lessons

Contest (math and computer science) lessons will be taught by our highly-qualified teachers and will run once a week. The goal of lessons is to place an emphasis on consistency and improving problem-solving skills rather than a focus on advanced concepts. Problem-solving skills are essential for competitions such as the Euclid and CCC, moreso than advanced concepts. As such, we will be doing individualized practice check-ins and Q&A sessions on top of the problem-solving-based lessons.

Other Guidance

Aside from contest lessons, we also provide guidance in acquiring internships, participating in relevant extracurriculars, and university admissions.
