Classes start in October. More than 1,800 sites for face-to-face classes will be opened in 73 regions. More than 30,000 applications have already been received across Russia from high school students to study under the “Code of the Future” program.

Altai State University will recruit two groups of schoolchildren and introduce them to the basics of programming in Python. The approximate schedule is already known: one group will study on Monday and Thursday at 8 am, and the second group on Wednesday and Saturday at 3 pm.
