-Mind Coding wants to gather the students passionate of Computer Science, regardless of age and background and offer them the chance to collaborate. Contestants will have the opportunity to get in touch with Cluj-Napoca’s employers, and also to scrutinize the facilities of studying at “Babes-Bolyai” University. During the online round, the students may establish contact with employers through banners and sponsored problems. At the final round, officials of universities and companies from Cluj will hold presentations and will directly communicate with students. Mind Coding endeavors to reward the elite of Computer Science’s students and attract them to Cluj-Napoca in the near future. Furthermore, Mind Coding wants to create a large community of enthusiastic students, attempting to establish strong connection between Romanian peers.
