This year is a special one for those at Code Camp, hosted by Queen's University Belfast, as they celebrate 10 years of Code Clock. Over the past decade, they have worked with thousands of young people across Northern Ireland, helping them develop confidence and skills in computing.
The Junior Summer School (6th–10th July) is designed for primary-aged pupils and offers an engaging introduction to ICT, computational thinking and programming in a fun, supportive environment, all within the Computer Science building at Queen’s.
