Kainos CodeCamp Gets Underway
The third summer Kainos CodeCamp has got underway supported by Belfast City Council, Queen's University Belfast and South Belfast Partnership.
Attended by 80 young people from the city and beyond, the free course is aimed at year 11-14 students studying the STEM subjects of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Running over two weeks, it culminates with a prize-giving ceremony on 07 August.
Kainos CodeCamp is designed to introduce young people to the world of computer programming and improve their technical skills. Over the two weeks, software developers and mentors from Kainos, Queen's University Belfast and Liberty IT will provide training and deliver workshops in a number of technologies including Android, iOS and Raspberry Pi.
Participants will not only learn basic coding techniques but also get a chance to develop their own apps. This will allow them to experience what working in an IT/technical environment would be like and understand the different roles available within the industry.
For the first time this year, the CodeCamp attendees will be given group training sessions in using Raspberry Pi, the small computer system designed to encourage children to learn programming. These will also be offered up as prizes, alongside Nexus tablets and an Apple Watch.
