When I was in class 8th, I was selected as one of the top 4 finalist in National Cyber Olympiad. Up until that point I liked computer science,but I did not have any special inclination towards it. But after I attended the preparatory camp, which was conducted for the finalists , my perception shifted drastically. The way the teachers at the camp taught computer science made me fall in love with it. The simplicity with which they were able to explain to us the underlying complex concepts had a deep impact on the way I approach problem solving now. Undoubtedly, I can say that it was a great learning experience for me.
