Training the next generation of AI builders
A volunteer-run non-profit running AI olympiads, hackathons and free courses, from your first line of Python to the international stage.
Competitions
We founded the Romanian Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence, manage the national selection and represent Romania at international olympiads, sharing expertise and gaining global experience. In 2026 we expanded internationally with Nitro NLP and by founding the European Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence, with more than 30 countries participating.
