Our graduates move on to a wide variety of interesting and challenging employment and further study opportunities, and we wish them all well with their future careers.
High school pupils from across the world are given a taste of what studying computer science at a Scottish university involves. Pupils attend lectures in the morning and take part in fun, hands-on activities in the afternoon. These sessions are part of the Science Summer Programme at St Andrews.
High school pupils from across the world are given a taste of what studying computer science at a Scottish university involves. Pupils attend lectures on Monday and Tuesday and take part in fun, hands-on activities on Thursday and Friday. These sessions are part of the Science Summer Programme at St Andrews.
The School of Computer Science runs daily sessions as part of the Sutton Trust summer school. The sessions are aimed at giving school pupils an insight into what it would be like to study computer science at university.
During the sessions, pupils take part in practical programming exercises and attend lectures similar to those they would receive studying with us.
The School is welcoming teachers and representatives of Local Education Authorities as part of the Teachers Together Conference.
Attendees will hear about the Computer Science Gateway programme.
Secondary School pupils from across the country are given a taste of what computer science involves by taking part in a practical programming activity. This sessions is part of First Chances at St Andrews.
The SACHI group were well represented at CHI 2016 held in San Jose, California. The ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems is the premier international conference of Human-Computer Interaction, and an exciting venue to discover, discuss and learn about the future of how people interact with technology.
SACHI presented five full papers, one note and a workshop paper, ran a successful workshop on Proxemic Mobile Collocated Interactions and designed many of the vibrant SIGCHI banners on display throughout the conference.
Well done to all concerned. SACHI group activities, conference keynote and plenary sessions are pictured below. CHI 2017 will be held in Denver, Colorado next year with a September deadline for papers and notes.
