The two-week camp will take place for the fifth year running at Queen’s University, Belfast, between 24th July-4th August 2017. Attendees must be tech-orientated individuals, aged between 14-18.
With help from Kainos professional software engineers, and guest speakers offering career advice, students will have the chance to boost their coding skills and professional and business skills, with tech-based activities including Raspberry Pi tutorials and VR/AR demonstrations.
“We are really delighted to have this opportunity again to host and support Kainos through CodeCamp. We see this and other outreach activities as helping us to get young people enthused and excited about coding,” said Dr Phil Hanna, Director of Education at the School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Queen’s University.
“Through CodeCamp we have seen many young people take their first step towards computing at school and university, and from there to a rewarding career in the computing sector.”
