We had a great time at our Women in #CompSci programme last week, which gives female & non-binary Year 12 students an insight into studying CS at uni. Students had lectures & workshops, stayed in @trinityhallcamb.bsky.social college, learned about applying to Cambridge & met women working in tech.
Students and staff on our Women in Computer Science programme enjoyed visiting and dining at Trinity Hall College Cambridge. Women in Computer Science is a programme we run every year to give female and non-binary students in Year 12 an insight into studying Computer Science at university.
