Calling all students 15 years or older interested in learning how to develop a website or a new computer language that could help you get into video games, machine learning, or Artificial Intelligence.
The 2024 Caribbean Computer Coding Workshops (C3W) applications are open.
The workshops, facilitated by the Caribbean Science Foundation, offer beginner-level experience in Web Development and Programming in Python. The program is scheduled to run every Saturday morning from February 10 – May 11, 2024, from 9:00 a.m. until noon.
According to the Caribbean Science Foundation website, limited resources have caused the total enrollment in the Workshops only to allow about 25 participants per session when offered in person.
However, there are available slots for virtual participation via the Zoom platform, allowing up to 40 participants per workshop.
Applicants must be citizens of CARICOM and CARICOM Associate countries.
Some of the anticipated benefits of the Coding Workshops include:
- A raised awareness and increased opportunities for more persons to consider science and engineering as career options
- Better preparation of our students for university study in the STEM disciplines
- A more appropriately trained future knowledge-based workforce – more graduates with enhanced skill sets and qualifications will obtain entry-level positions in the workplace (especially at-risk youth)
- Promotion of more technology-based entrepreneurship and more self-employment opportunities for our youth
- Eventual formation of more globally competitive ICT companies that could bring in more foreign exchange
- Regional mobilisation onto a path to catch up with the more developed countries in the ICT areas
Ignition and nurturing of the inventiveness in our youth so that the next “Google” has a reasonable probability of coming out of the Caribbean.
The Level I introductory website creation and development (C3W.101) begins with basic coding in HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP and is tailored for students who have yet to gain experience in coding.
The Introduction to Programming in Python workshop (C3W.201) assumes no prior coding experience in Python. However, concepts such as functions, variables, and iteration will be helpful to applicants for this specific program.
The deadline for applications is February 4.
