Full event details

There are nine avilable workshops covering various subject areas of computer science:

Boolean algebra

Students are introduced to the use of mathematics to express computational laws and processes. We look at how to manipulate Boolean expressions, using Boolean algebra rules and DeMorgan's Laws, and use interactive activities. Duration: 45 mins 

Big data

In the digital world, vast amounts of data are generated each day. Big data systems can help us store, manage and analyse large datasets that are too big for conventional databases to handle. In this session, we look at types, sources, common applications and challenges faced by big data systems. Duration: 45 mins 

Cyber attack and defence

A cyber-attack can maliciously disable computers, damage computer hardware and steal data. Cyber criminals use a variety of methods to launch a cyber-attack, including malware, phishing, denial of service. Students explore the common types of attacking technologies and operations, as well as prevention. Duration: 45 minutes

Practical robots

Students experiment with developing software to control a simple robotic device. They look at the skills required for solving problems, logical thinking, algorithms and programming. Duration: 2 hours

Data analytics

Students experiment with machine learning algorithms and Python software for making inferences starting from a dataset. We guide them through the process of applying a machine learning workflow, showcase how to create their first machine learning solution with Python and how it can help in making predictions about unseen data. Duration: 2 hours

Ethical hacking 

We look at ethical hacking techniques following various methods of penetration testing and discuss how to run industry-standard tools to analyse network vulnerabilities. At the end of the session students will understand what causes a network to be vulnerable as well as techniques to enter a target system. Duration: 2 hours

Get into computer science and AI

From smartphones to self-driving cars, computer science and artificial intelligence (AI) are integral to modern business and society. This session explores job roles, skills, industry trends and the range of careers in the sector. Duration: 45 minutes

Get into cyber security

In the digital world, one cyber security breach can expose vast amounts of data and compromise critical systems. Cyber security professionals use tools and methods to design secure systems and test them for vulnerabilities using ethical hacking techniques. This session explores job roles, skills, industry trends and the range of careers in the sector. Duration: 45 minutes

Get into data science

Data scientists are responsible for handling raw data, analysing it, identifying patterns and presenting insights so that it's useful for forecasting and predicting business problems. This session explores job roles, skills, industry trends and the range of careers in the sector. Duration: 45 minutes
