The School of Computing to run ComputeTY 2011

07 January 2011

The School of Computing, is delighted to announce we are re-running our ComputeTY programme in 2011. This programme has run very successfully in the past and we are committed to promoting computing education to secondary school students from all backgrounds of society. The programme will run for 4 weeks starting Monday 10th January – Friday 4th February 2011 in labs LG25 and 26. 400 students will participate from over 26 schools.

Computing and digital technology is a crucial and productive element to the success of Ireland’s future and an important learning tool in young peoples lives. This year we have put together a programme structure that is divided into two streams. Stream 1 - web design and Stream 2 - an introduction to programming. The content will work for those students who have a strong aptitude for computing and also for those who have an interest in computing but may require extra help and encouragement.

Thanks to the HEA and CNGL for their funding in supporting this event.
