High school students
The Turing Course, which commenced in 2023-24, has proven to be a highly successful initiative. It provides an opportunity for motivated high school students to immerse themselves in the world of computing. The Saturday morning format of the course has been particularly well-received by participants, who have found it an engaging and flexible learning environment. This format has enabled them to experiment with new learning approaches and develop new skills and friendships, as evidenced by the experiences of Lou-Anne and Rémi.
