On October 2 the OSU University College hold an opening ceremony for Yandex.Liceum educational portal.

Yandex.Liceum is an educational project by Yandex, aimed at teaching high school students the basics of programming and IT. The educational program is designed for eight- and nine-grade students and lasts for two years. Children will learn about programming through the example of Python — one of the most popular programming languages used at YouTube, NASA and Yandex. The training would be free of charge, but in order to become a project participant, a student has to undergo the competitive selection process and get a passing mark.

The Acting Minister of Education of the Orenburg region Alexei Pakhomov, OSU Rector Zhanna Ermakova, Deputy Director of the IT Department of the Orenburg region Dmitry Vecherenko and OSU Prorector for Academic Affairs Tatyana Olkhovaya have visited the opening ceremony for Yandex.Liceum at the OSU University College.

OSU has a rich experience at teaching IT specialists. The graduates of the university work at big IT companies both in Russia and abroad, including Yandex. Those students who make great strides in learning and who score 100 points, are going to get the "overachiever" title and the opportunity to take part in hackathon in Yandex head office in Moscow with other young programmers from all over Russia.

The first demo lesson "First steps in the programming environment" was also held on that day. A lecturer told about the subject and the structure of future classes.
