After a hiatus of about a decade, the McGill Computer Science Summer Camp once again welcomed students from Montreal high schools and CEGEPs to the downtown campus this summer.
The four packed days of talks, hands-on activities and coding sessions were all intended to strengthen students’ interests in coding and coding competitions, and to contribute to the development of computer science talent in Quebec.
The 30 participants dissected old computers, learned about ethical AI and touched on a diverse selection of coding topics. Campers capped off the week by testing their knowledge in a friendly but intense competition, complete with its own award ceremony.
