  21. Requirements for All Trainees • High school students only • Teachers and university students accepted by exception (if there are free seats) • Basic computer skills • We don’t teach computer literacy • Basic English skills • Ability to read technicaldocumentation is enough • Serious attitude and high motivation!

  22. Organizations Issues How the Trainings are Organized?

  23. The Venue • Most trainings will be held in Sofia in Telerik Academy's large training lab • Sometimes we do trainings in other locations • It is hard to find a training lab for 100+ students • Finding an accommodation is a big problem! • Currently we use the National Center for Preparation of Students for Olympiads • Accommodation capacity: up to 60 people • Sometimes it is full so students coming outside of Sofia should find accommodation themselves

  24. Training as a Competition • Sometimes the candidates are more than that capacity of our training labs • How we could decide which students to train and which not? • We don't want to train the most skillful attendees, but the most motivated ones • Solution: turn the training into competition • Mandatory homework after each training session • People not submitted the entire homework within the deadline will not participate further

  25. Online Participation • Students who cannot come at the free school academy trainings onsite could attend online • All training sessions are video recorded and the videos are freely available at the academy site • Homework assignments are publicly available • Anyone can attend online • No just school students http://academy.telerik.com/school-academy/video
