Girls Training
The Swiss Olympiad in Informatics organizes girls only events leading up to the European Girls’ Olympiad in Informatics. The events are also open to nonbinary people.
The starting event is a training day in Bern on the 27th of September 2025. It is suitable for all experience levels, including complete beginners. We will have lectures on programming and algorithmic topics and enough time to get to know other interested girls from all over Switzerland! It is completely free of charge, we will cover your travel costs and we will provide lunch.
This is followed by weekly online trainings on Discord. They will take place every Sunday at 16:00 and last 1-2 hours. There will be short lectures in the beginning, taking place in parallel in German and in English, and after that, there is time to solve interesting tasks in small groups. As the training happens in collaboration with Germany, you can form national and international connections. If you have basic programming knowledge in any language, you can join the online training even if you weren’t at the kickoff event. You can but you don’t need to attend every week.
In April there will be a Girlscamp in Poland where we will send a delegation of up to 6 participants. Furthermore, the European Girls’ Olympiad in Informatics will take place in Italy in May. The top 4 girls of SOI will travel there to compete and have fun! Both of these events are completely free of charge for you. To qualify you need to participate in the regular SOI contest.
