The Royal Institution Masterclasses are a series of hands-on and interactive extracurricular activities that are designed to encourage, inspire, and engage young people in the creativity and practice of computer science, helping to highlight the links between this wide-reaching discipline and other subjects.
We are asking teachers to nominate pupils to attend Royal Institution (Ri) Masterclasses in Computer Science, hosted by Department of Computer Science at University of Oxford, on six Saturday mornings between 11 June and 23 July 2022 (inclusive), free of charge (please note no session on Saturday 2 July). The Masterclasses will take place on the following dates:
• Saturday 11 June 2022
• Saturday 18 June 2022
• Saturday 25 June 2022
• Saturday 9 July 2022
• Saturday 16 July 2022
• Saturday 23 July 2022
The Ri Computer Science Masterclasses are workshops that are led by experts from industry, academia, and education. They offer students in-depth investigations of topics in Computer Science, combining theory with interactive exploration. We will introduce them to the world of Computer Science and hope to inspire them to continue their engagement with the subject. They are open to state school students from schools in Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Swindon, Gloucestershire and Buckinghamshire.
