In academic year 2025/26, we organize the second edition of the Artificial Intelligence Olympiad Club for high-school students, under the patronage of the Polish AI Olympiad.

During the classes, we cover the fundamental knowledge of machine learning, including regression, basic classifiers (like nearest neighbor classifier, decision trees, Bayesian classification), dimensionality reduction techniques, as well as deep learning architectures, including multilayer perceptrons, convolutional neural networks and transformers. We underline the understanding of the mathematical aspects of the algorithms by the students. Therefore, we ensure the introduction to linear algebra, geometry, and probability theory before their application in different machine learning methods.

We expect from students the basic knowledge of Python and fundamental machine learning concepts. And, most importantly, their commitment and systematic work through the academic year!

Participants who complete the course and present a final project will receive a final certificate.

The classes will be held at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of Jagiellonian University, on Thursdays, between 17:00 and 18:30, in room number 0028.

At the first meeting on 2nd October 2025, a recruitment test will be conducted to determine participation in the next meetings of the club (the number of club participants is limited due to the organization nature).

In the academic year 2025/26, the classes will be led by Ulvi Movsum-zada, MSc, and Jan Miksa, MSc.

Please follow this website as all updates and information regarding the AI Club will be published here.

Recruitment

Recruitment is open until September 28, 2025, at 11:59 PM.

The Artificial Intelligence Club sessions will be held in person throughout the entire academic year 2025/2026. Online participation is not possible! Regular attendance is required. Absences will result in automatic removal from the club.

If you are determined to join the club and take the recruitment test, please follow these steps:

1. Register for the recruitment test. The list of materials necessary to prepare for the test is available HERE.
2. After submitting the form, a unique identifier will be sent to the email address you provided. You must remember this identifier. Without it, you will not be able to take the recruitment test! This identifier is confidential, so do not share it with anyone. If you do not receive the email with your identifier within an hour of submitting the form, check your spam folder. If it is not there either, please register again using a different email address, as your email provider likely blocks communication from UJ’s mail servers. If you later receive an email from a previous registration with a different identifier, you may use either of the identifiers during the recruitment test.
3. The results of the recruitment test and admission to the club will be announced on this website using the unique identifiers only (no names will be published).
4. If you are under 18 years old and qualify for the Artificial Intelligence Club, you must bring a signed consent form from your parent or legal guardian to the first class (link HERE). Without this consent, participation in the club will not be possible!
5. If you registered for the recruitment test but changed your mind and no longer wish to participate, please send an email with this information to: [email protected].

If you are a teacher interested in AI, you can also join the club. Send your application by email to [email protected]. As a teacher, you do not need to take the recruitment test.
