An opportunity for Solent students to show their coding skills
The competition presents young people with real world challenges that they must address with self-taught coding skills.
Totton College is one of over 50 regional centres from all over the UK that will host free, four-day sessions for young programmers in its state-of-the-art facilities. After a week of exploration and creativity in various computer languages, the attendees will get the opportunity to present their idea at a grand finale in Plymouth at the end of the week.
Selected participants from the area will be given access to free office space, as well as a tour of Ordnance Survey's head office. Ian Holt, developer programme manager at Ordnance Survey, said: “I am looking forward to seeing the range of innovative ideas which develop during the week, especially those which include mapping and location data. This really is a great opportunity for teenagers to showcase their coding skills and I would urge anyone interested to register straight away.”
