2024 TeamUp Science Computer Science Workshop (CSW)

TeamUP Science’s annual Computer Science Workshop (CSW) is taking place on October 26, 2024! It is an in-person event designed for high school students interested in exploring the field of computer science and software development.

Format of the Event:

Participants will be divided into two streams, depending on previous computer science experience and skill-level. Both streams will use the coding language Python, however the content covered in each will differ:

Beginner Stream:

• Target Audience: Students with little to no prior coding experience.
• Topics Covered: Simple and compound statements, loops (for and while), user-defined functions, exception handling.
• Final Project: Students will apply all the concepts learned during the workshop to create a comprehensive interactive card game.

Intermediate Stream:

• Target Audience: Students with some prior coding knowledge who are looking to deepen their understanding. Ideally, those who have taken a prior high school computer science course before. 
• Topics Covered: Data structures, object-oriented programming (OOP), and recursion.
• Final Project: Students will integrate the concepts learned to develop a minesweeper game. 

The general format of the event will be the same for participants in both streams: workshops with presentations and activities to learn concepts, games (with prizes!), and a final project designed for participants to apply their knowledge. There will also be a free lunch, guest speakers currently involved in the computer science field, and a Q&A session!
