STEM Learning Sprint
22 - 24 July 2026, 9:30- 3pm
The Sprint is a free, three-day non-residential summer school designed to help students build confidence in computer science through practical, hands-on activities, and to explore how these skills connect to further study and future careers.
Delivered in partnership with STEM Learning, the programme is open to students currently in Year 10.
Across the three days, students will take part in interactive sessions that develop problem-solving and computational thinking, with opportunities to see how computer science links to a wide range of roles and pathways. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
Students will attend independently with parent/ carer consent given in advance.
