Computer Science Students Association at Iaşi University offers high school students a campus experience

Although summer vacation means a time of just rest and fun for many high school students, there are also opportunities to be productive for young people interested in computer science. A summer camp named "FII Student 2026" is being organized for high school students who want to experience student life at the Faculty of Computer Science at the "Alexandru Ioan Cuza" University in Iaşi. The event in question is organized by the Iaşi Computer Science Students Association (ASII) and aims to prepare young people for university life. Participants get the chance to experience the life of a real university student firsthand for a week. Such projects serve as a highly valuable bridge to facilitate the transition period between high school and university.

Within the scope of the organized camp, high school students are not only subjected to technical training; they also sincerely find the opportunity to experience the social atmosphere of the university campus. Giuliano Brezuleanu, President of the Iaşi Computer Science Students Association (ASII), clearly stated their main goal in his statement regarding this event. Brezuleanu emphasized that they desire students to see with their own eyes exactly what student life is like and to have an extremely authentic experience. The association president values contributing to young people making conscious choices by breaking their prejudices regarding university education. In this regard, direct and sincere communication channels are opened between young people and university students and academicians throughout the event.

Iaşi city hosts thousands of students every year as one of Romania's most rooted and prestigious educational centers. The "Alexandru Ioan Cuza" University located in the city is known as one of the country's oldest and most established higher education institutions. The Faculty of Computer Science stands out as a highly attractive academic center for young people who want to direct the software and technology field today, when digital transformation has accelerated. Student associations in the region also give great momentum to this dynamic structure of the university. Civil society organizations like ASII are making intense efforts to support the personal and professional development of young people in areas outside the academic curriculum.

The "FII Student 2026" project allows young brains curious about computer sciences to both reinforce their theoretical knowledge and gain practical skills. The event is planned to start on Monday and will continue with various workshops and seminars for a week. High school students will have the chance to obtain first-class information about programming, algorithms, and modern technological trends during this time. In addition, they will be able to draw their career routes much more clearly by meeting with expert academicians in their field and successful graduates in the sector. This intensive program allows participants to develop not only technically, but also in terms of teamwork and communication skills.

One of the biggest advantages the organization offers to high school students is providing a realistic preview of university life. Many high school students have serious difficulties in deciding which department to choose before stepping into university. Experiential learning camps like "FII Student" help young people make their choices based on their own experiences without being under pressure. This event organized in Iaşi proves how successful innovative and student-oriented approaches in education across Romania can be. In order to train the software developers and scientists of the future, such local initiatives make a huge contribution to the strengthening of the country's digital ecosystem in the long run.
