Computer Science (16-17 years old)

The Computer Science Oxford summer school at Atlas Summer Courses for ages 16-17 years. Not all computers always speak the same language, and this course will cover a range of programming principles, while developing your understanding of how they structure our world. This course encourages independent thinking and critical analysis of exactly how and why code exists and what changes this has made to the way we think. Our tutors will rapidly develop your skills, and then you may be invited to work on your own project, challenging yourself to see what you can create. Programming languages are writing all our futures; learn to understand how they are doing it. Set and reflect on ambitious goals with our support, engage in tutorial Q&A sessions, participate in an academic skills masterclass for critical thinking development, explore future career pathways through expert speakers, attend a university fair to meet representatives from various universities, and have the chance to visit different Oxford colleges for a comprehensive Oxford summer school experience.
