The core of the SigmaCamp Next academic program are the Semilabs, which combine theoretical (Seminar) and practical (Lab) parts in 90-minute sessions. Each semilab is a course running over five out of seven days of camp. Each student will attend 1 semilab, and matching to the semilabs will be informed by the Entrance Exam (EE).
