Headstart Summer School - 30 June - 1 July 2015
Many current and emerging applications of Computer Science are underpinned by Discrete Mathematics which plays an essential role in modelling the natural world, securing communication, extracting knowledge from large data, etc.
The Headstart Summer School at the University of Warwick takes a problem solving approach to introducing discrete mathematics and its applications, using mathematical reasoning to think rigorously and analytically to solve real-world problems. Read what the students got up to on the wordpress blog.
BCS Appathon - 13th June 2015
Part of the Guinness World Record attempt for the largest number of people learning to write Android smartphone applications at the same time! Using a mixture of talk, activities, and hands-on coding we will help you build some simple interactive applications that you run and install on your own Android phones or tablets. You will leave the day with apps you’ve built, and the software installed on your own laptop to play around with it once you get home.
