Lesson Plan

The camp is an award-winning academic summer school that offers programs for students aged 16 to 18 in prestigious academic institutions. The goal of this program is to give academically rigorous content that expands participants' knowledge and love for their chosen field. The program also provides young varied and essential views into what it would be like to study at university through 40 hours of academic sessions over the two week. Individual work, referred to as the "Personal Project" in this curriculum, is required. This is usually an essay or a presentation given on the last day of the program. Participants will get comments on their work, which may be included the final assessment of the participant. The Computer Science curriculum is meant to expand on the basis of information that participants have already obtained in a typical classroom setting and to show how this may be utilized to motivate future university study. Participants are encouraged to go further into new material and build their own, well-considered thoughts and ideas based on solid study and practical experience. Participants will have a thorough knowledge of not just university-level content, but also the diversity of degree programs available in computer science-related areas by the end of the program.

Example Modules

  • **Programming with Python: **Python is a very popular object-orientation programming language that continues to be extensively used in academia and industry. You will discover Python, tackle programming tasks, and be shown how to think programmatically, by breaking down problems so that you can tackle them with Python.
  • **Object-Oriented Programming with Python: **OOP expresses components as objects, packaging what you need to know about a component in a self-contained unit of code, which has its own functionality and state. You will build layers of these objects to create more powerful representations, whilst simultaneously simplifying and promoting the reuse of code.
  • Databases and Big Data: It is estimated that we produce 2.5 quintillion bytes of data per day, or two and a half thousand million gigabytes. How do we make sense of it? How can we leverage it to our advantage, and how can we manage it? In this topic you will learn relational databases, a powerful tool that is used almost everywhere in computer science to efficiently store data.
  • **Personal Project Presentation: **After presenting your work and findings throughout the computer science programme, you are given the chance to be critically evaluated by your peers and tutor. This helps to solidify the theoretical and practical knowledge learnt throughout the two-week summer school.

-Shared airport transfer service, which will cost £90.00 each way,
