GoTo hell. Summer Schools on Programming, Data Analysis and Robotics for the most stupid high school students
There was once a boy in the camp in Odessa, a schoolboy who was sitting in the corner and did not participate in the general movements. In the questionnaire, he indicated that he was doing well in math. I went up and asked, they say, what are we sitting for, who are we waiting for. “Boring and pointless,” answered the lad. “The smartest, huh? Do you want a geometry problem, decide? ”-“ And then! ”.
- There are tasks to build, heard about these? Well, the compasses and the ruler are given, it is necessary to divide the angle into 4 equal parts, can you master in 10 minutes?
- Here is the answer.
- Well, here is the next level, there is a corner, you need to divide it into 3 parts with a compass and a ruler, at dinner you will show the answer, is it going?

The kid didn't come to dinner. But after 10 months, he came to play on the desk at Yandex, because he entered the MEPhI (and in general he is from Moldova), because I gave him the contacts of my classmate, a yandexoneid, who helped me on mathematics via Skype.
Summer schools and camps are cool and useful. Under the cut, a tale about how we catch teenagers over a precipice in rye and arrange their blood pressure for them, bites us with python and pumps them over in the field of social engineering.
This is Boris. He is a camel. Boris can spit and bite, but he does not suspect that he is waiting for him this summer.
Why goto
First of all. When I was a schoolboy, I was fortunate enough to almost accidentally get into a summer school in Vladivostok. It was one of the significant and key experiences. Yes, there was my first real victory in Starcraft CTF and Quake 2. Back in school, lecturers from the Physics and Moscow State University gave lectures, which gave me some special moves that I used at olympiads in physics and mathematics.
Secondly. Radio engineering and programming have always been curious to me, but being in the “hole”, it was very difficult for me to find people willing to suggest something, to share experience. Now I see in the face of the GoTo project exactly the structure that was so lacking when I was in school. There are also like-minded people and teachers (more precisely, professionals working in their field) who are ready to pump the young during off-hours.
Thirdly, at school we had a “gang of like-minded people” - and we dragged each other in mathematics, physics, Quake2 and Starcraft. We entered different universities, spent less time side by side and as a result - mutual induction and mutual reinforcement in the area of ​​progany, IB and Counter Strike were not as strong as in school. On the basis of GoTo, a community of like-minded people is being formed (well, not quite soul-to-soul, there are always their own graters), who are looking in the same direction and are ready to work together on a project.
Therefore, it is already the third year that I have gotten involved in the GoTo team. I wish you the same.

Examples of research projects
Team About Blank . According to recently updated legislation, people whose profiles have more than 3,000 subscribers are equal to the media. The topic of media influence on the masses is very interesting both from a scientific point of view and commercially. The guys took up the study of these user-hubs: they found interesting information about profiles, found out the approximate ratio of the number of bots and real people, identified the prevailing types of content on their walls, tried to identify the signs that caused their popularity. They showed that these users do post in most cases photos and audio recordings, and also have open profiles and receive messages from all users.
Developing this idea, one can understand what the audience is interested in, subscribing to these people, finding out their hobbies, as well as influencing them. The information obtained will allow you to engage in effective promotion of advertising, designed for specific groups of users in the network. It is worth highlighting this project, because the guys are one of the few who took up a practical task and brought it to the stage of a working prototype with the possibility of future monetization of the service as an analog of Ya.Direkt and Google.Ads.
Team Map of connections . In this project, the guys took up a rather interesting study - the study of patterns of communication between students from different schools in Moscow. The density of ties between students from different schools was investigated depending on the location and the presence of a matching profile of the schools being compared. Graphs of connections between students were constructed and so-called connectivity components were obtained, showing how certain groups of schoolchildren are divided into circles of communication, as well as visualization of connections on the map of Moscow. Such data can be used to improve the interaction of schools in various fields: from the Olympiad movement to sports and social activities.
Team 10011001 . A team of students has developed an application that allows you to search for data dependencies automatically and not to build hypotheses manually. With the help of this functional, they built correlations of various social features of the existing sample of schoolchildren on the social network VKontakte: the connection of their main interests, musical and literary preferences with gender differences, with nationality, lifestyle and many other characteristics. The main value of their work is the ability to set any input data and get the most significant correlations that can be used to build the average attitude of the selected group of people to the topic of interest to us.

Thoughts of respected IT people about education
Peter Thiel
"A drill"
Peter Thiel advises employers to hire more people without higher education, and high school graduates to think ten times before entering a university.

“What we wanted to know in school”
“I wrote this speech to address graduates of the school. I was not able to speak with her because the school administration forbade me to invite me. ”
Backstage
- Serge, what are we going to talk about?
- I can tell you about how to burn smokeless powder so that your fingers do not tear off.
- Ha, I can add the story of how we in childhood sawed a tank projectile in order to pick out the "Semidyr" from it.
- I look at my friends and I don't care how miraculously everybody survived.
- Can you tell about AI in games?
- Let me better, I will potroll with their sotsinzhiniring.
- Alena, I will not go anywhere until I find a camel, in order to get it for an article on Habré. (“Why camel Boris in the camp for programmers”)
- Let us include it in the contract as a prerequisite.
- They say he spits. Let's make a project of the Internet of things for a camel, well, there is a “smart camel” of the type, we will fasten an Arduinka and sensors to his hump and he will be like a walking tank in “Return of the Jedi.
- Savvateev ( professor of NES and MIPT ) cannot choose a topic.
- In terms of?
- Well, it is torn, either "Unsolved problems of mathematics" or "Math, which appeared thanks to the Internet."
- ...
- As a result, he chose the topic - “Mathematics of Internet auctions: auctions in theory and in practice”. And he wrote that "but let's still just such a topic, not for suckers."
- The camel will not be, but there will be shaggy cows ( Shetland ), it will be possible to hug them. And ostrich eggs.
- Alain, and let me have a satellite shooting at Fedoseev, I really liked the engineering Olympiad , how the guys made a satellite out of a scatter in 3 days and programmed it.
- And if they break it?
“So much the better, so we conducted a safety and reliability audit.” It is even more interesting, because it falls into the hub "information security".
- At night, everything will be fine, they will not leave the territory of the camp. Yes, and there are huntsmen with guns.
- Alain, and what is your Internet hero, who wrote a bot for me as a jellyfish answering questions in VK?
- Lesh, he's in 8th grade.
- And come on, for those who will win in the “hacker Olympiad”, we will let them shoot a shotgun?
- Lesha! Do not even think about writing about it. Parents of children will not let go.
Dialogue with E-contenta .
- Alena, I adore your children! The dude in 1 day without API documentation all wrote down. Now I’m thinking whether it’s time for me to quit. In my sn, you can keep twenty children of this kind here, well, maybe not twenty, but definitely more than ten.
-)))
- Yura works in the same way with us, but he is so burning that I want to offer him to go to the state soon. And then there will be more. Yesterday we gave a lecture on the quality metrics of hierarchical classifiers.
- Cool so! I'm just as happy as my mother!
“Damn, they are better than adults for little money.
At the interview with the counselors:
- Well, in the last camp I did discos and dance competitions.
- Do you know how to solder? And to take integrals?
PS
Announcement of the master class "Any garbage about social engineering."
- What is social engineering and how to live with it now.
- Basic technology manipulation: how to pass the line, how to go to any construction site and almost any company.
- Examples of cognitive distortion: from advertising, from the well-established rules a la "Everything that does not kill us, is more powerful."
- Basic trigger mechanics, "ladder" beliefs.
- Shift focus, play negotiations.
- Practical application: learn to respond to comments in an aggressive environment.
Well, and I again will force the most disobedient to translate Paul Graham, to write articles on Habr about how we hacked the satellite and passed through the cognitive distortion analyzer.
