Crash-course for high school students from all around the country.
2016, June 12-17
The participants of the course tried an absolutely new field every day. In the morning, they chose a workshop (from two simultaneous ones) and for six hours were working at their own project. They made a presentation and included the project in their portfolio. Urban studies, neurophysiology, financial markets, contemporary art, electronic music, table games, chat bots coding, advertising – what have you already tried? Our participants have tried all of it. And still we have more surprises! What about a quidditch game, playback theater, singing class or gardening?
How it was?
Day 0
What does portfolio mean?
The goal of our program is to create a portfolio. So we start working at it at the very moment we arrive at Voronovo. What is portfolio and what does it do? We show you the best examples, you ask lots of questions, we develop the ideas … and here it comes!

Coding chat-bots
We are going to discuss what artificial intelligence is and to learn how to code chat bots for Telegram:

During these five days, we had an opportunity to touch our dreams. It gave an incentive to me. The camp was really inspiring one! I was fired up and continue moving forward. I am really happy that I've spent these five days so profitably. Thanks to everybody!
Vadim Zinin
Art & Fact is not just a camp. It was so surprising, the activities changed all the time. We participated in various exciting workshops. Each day was brilliant and colorful. I made new friends. I liked aerosol paints! I decided to dedicate myself to aerography (paintings on cars) and urban studies. Workshop with Playtronica was great. Now I know what I want to do in my life and have two years to make my dreams come true! The time was spinning away. I didn't want to leave. Tanks to everybody for such a great experience. It was cool!
Katya Demyanovich
This camp was one of the greatest moments of this summer. Why is Art & Fact different from all other camps? … Hm … It has helped me to choose my future career. I learned lots of new things and got new experience. I made new friends, got to know experts. I really didn't want to leave. I guess nobody did. We had a great time. Really great!
