NCI Ctrl-Alt-Compete - NCI's TY Summer Camp for Girls

Female secondary school students eager to explore the world of coding can sign up for NCI's TY summer camp ‘Ctrl-Alt-Compete'.

This 5-day camp will take place on-campus at NCI where students will learn how games, animations, data, and artificial intelligence are built through a mix of guided lessons, interactive challenges, and creative project work. Beginning with Scratch animations and game design, students will explore the fundamentals of programming before moving into Python coding, AI and machine learning concepts, and real-world data visualisation using tools like Pandas and NumPy

Each day combines coding lessons, teamwork, quizzes, creative experimentation, and project development. Students will train simple AI models in Scratch using text and image classification, analyse datasets through visual charts and graphs, and build their own original projects throughout the week.

The camp is completely free. Whether you're curious about computing or keen to learn new technologies with college lecturers, book your place today by filling out the form below! No prior experience necessary.

Computing is a male-dominated field, this summer camp is designed to address the gender imbalance in this subject at third-level.
