The Olympiad was held in Minsk for the fourth time and gathered more than 290 students from 32 higher and secondary special institutions of Belarus.

All the tasks for the participants were prepared by specialists of Belarusian and world IT companies such as Yandex, Promwad, R-StyleLab. The tasks were based on the products of the companies which will occur at the workplace of young professionals. This year the participants solved the problems on algorithms of data storage and processing, searched for multimedia solutions on the base of Embedded Linux and worked with databases for four hours.

The third place in the competition of R-Style Lab was awarded to Julia Zhurun, a student of the Faculty of Economics and Management of the specialty "Information Systems and Technologies". Successful presentation was realized thanks to Yuri Stepin, the scientific adviser, the senior teacher of mathematical and information support of economic systems.

By the way, Yuliya participates in the Olympiad BIT-Cup for the second time. The girl likes the tasks that companies offer.

Yuliya said: “The tasks at the Olympiad are close to the real tasks that employees solve in the working process. There have been many cases when companies, having assessed the level of participants, afterward offered the best contestants a job or a period of probation”.

The girl is not satisfied with what she has already achieved. Next year Yuliya sets a goal to take the first place and become a part of one of the teams of the leading IT companies of the country.
