❓ FAQ

Good to know.

Who can apply?

Current Ivybek students and alumni have no additional requirement. Students from outside Ivybek need to be current high school students or in their first gap year after high school.

Do I need a team to register?

No. This first registration is individual, just for the bootcamp. Team registration opens after bootcamp (Jul 27-29). If you don't have a team yet, there's a facilitated team-matching activity during the bootcamp. Each team needs at least 2 current Ivybek students or alumni, and students from outside Ivybek Academy can join their teams.

Is bootcamp attendance mandatory?

Yes. Bootcamp (Jul 27-29, in Tashkent) is mandatory to compete. Only the first day (Vibe-Coding) is online. The rest is in person.

What language is everything in?

English.

Is there a fee to apply?

No. Registration and participation are completely free.

Do I need a finished project idea to register?

No. The registration form just asks whether you already have a team and project. It's completely fine to say you don't yet.

Shortly after submissions close on August 2. Shortlisted teams are contacted directly.

What happens after I register?

You're contacted directly by email or Telegram with bootcamp logistics, venue, and schedule.
