How to prepare

It is a good idea to review the high school math during the summer.

To increase your chances of success, I encourage you to also start learning some programming on your own during the summer. There are many online courses and tutorials you can use. The first programming course is on Python, so look for that. Here are some examples:

Computer
You need to have your own laptop during the education. The reason for this is that it is very difficult to get a good personal development environment on shared computers and the development environment you will be working in will be an important part of your education. It does not have to be an extremely high spec. laptop, but a low-end computer will not be enough. More memory (at least 16 GB) and a faster processor are more important than high graphics quality. Windows/MacOS/Linux all work well.

Get a student account and register

You need a student account in order to register. Here you find the information. Registration is necessary in order to start the education to which you have been accepted.
