 ICT Summer Camp - SeniorAge: 15-18 year olds

Course Contents: Advanced Python Programming

This programme is designed for students aged 15 to 18 who have a strong interest in programming, some prior experience with Python - such as through MPT Senior or CoderDojo—and a good aptitude for mathematics.

The course offers training in more advanced topics in Python and introduces students to AI modelling. The content is more advanced than material covered in the Junior camp, and may serve as useful preparation for those considering Computer Science for the Leaving Certificate or future third-level studies.
