COMPUTER SUMMER SCHOOL

NUI MAYNOOTH

The Department of Computer Science at NUI Maynooth is holding a Computer Summer School for students aged 14 -18 years old in the last week of July. The aim is to give students a chance to use and learn about the technology of tomorrow and to see and take part in research projects being undertaken in Maynooth. Also, it will allow school students thinking about their choice of university course to sample at first hand the college environment and find out what it would be like to study computer science at third level.

Activities Planned for the week include

  • Robotics — see demonstrations of different kinds of robot. Learn how to program simple robots.
  • Multimedia — use the latest software to create animations with graphics, sound and music
  • GPS — learn about the technology behind satellite navigation and look at some exciting new applications.
  • Computer vision and sensors — How do computers see the world? How do movement sensors such as in the Wii games console work.
  • Web-site design — learn how put together exciting web pages with graphics, sounds etc.
  • Computer Graphics — How do 3D graphics on games consoles like the XBox work?
  • Music Technology — how is music made using synthesizer instruments and computer-based music sequencers. Students will make their own music using these tools.

The Summer School runs for one week 28th July to 1st August from 9.30am to 1pm each day and costs €75. To apply for a place candidates must complete an application form available from:
