ICT Summer Camps 2025 Conclude at CSIT

4 Jul 2025

The 2025 ICT Summer Camps, hosted by the School of Computer Science and Information Technology at University College Cork, have now successfully concluded.

This year’s camps welcomed nearly 120 students across a range of age groups and skill levels. A highlight of the final week, which wrapped up on Friday, July 4th, was the introduction of the Kiddo Summer Camps for 11–12 year olds — a new addition, expanding on the success of our MPT Kiddo classes, which run during school term.

The week also saw the conclusion of the Advanced Training Camps, specifically designed to prepare students for upcoming international competitions, including the European Girls’ Olympiad in Informatics (EGOI), taking place in Bonn on 14th July, and the International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI), which begins in Sucre, Bolivia on 27th July. We extend our best wishes to all students representing Ireland at these highly competitive international Olympiads.

Earlier in the summer, the School also delivered Junior (12–14) and Girls Coding (14–18) camps. From 3rd–7th June, the School delivered Junior (12–14) and Girls Coding (14–18) camps. The Junior Camp introduced students to Python programming and game development using Minecraft, while the Girls Coding Camp focused on Python and algorithms, encouraging students to develop problem-solving skills and explore opportunities in computing, including national and international competitions.

We would like to thank all attendees, parents, and instructors for contributing to another successful year of camps. We look forward to welcoming new and returning students in 2026.
