15 <h2>MindCoding National Competition - First Edition</h2>
16 <p>We are happy to announce the launch of MindCoding, our fun and challenging national programming competition! It doesn't matter if you have a job, you're a student or you're still in school, what really matters is your passion for problem solving.
18 Join our community and have the opportunity to learn new things and make a name of yourself! Are you passionate about a certain technology? Do you need a team for working on a project? MindCoding will help you make new friends who share your interests.
20 The first online round is this Thursday, on the 30th of January. We hope you'll join us!
22 You will have to solve 4 algorithmic problems of various difficulty levels, and they will be scored based on their level and your problem solving speed. In order for a solution to be considered correct, it must pass all of our tests. We strongly recommend getting used to our platform by solving a few warm-up <a href="/pb/">challenges</a>.
24 Good luck and have fun!
