    • Nodet

      2003 - 2010

      Nodet (which stands for National Organization for Development of Exceptional Talents) was a student for let's say "smart" kids; our teacher expected us to learn more about anything. It was there that my scientific basis becomes active and it was there where I first started programming.they also prepared a great set of laboratories for most of the lessons such as physics and chemistry and this help us to learn many things in practice.
