A level computer science project Hackathon CY233 / A17
Summary
For those new to A level computer science, the programming project is an intimidating prospect. The aim of this unique two-day event is to give teachers the time and resources to prepare for the non-exam assessment.
This is a very practical course, designed to develop your programming skills so you’re able to support A level students. We will focus on Python programming; however there will be opportunities to explore new technologies, to tinker with hardware and to learn new languages.
This is a residential course, fees include meals and accommodation for the duration of the course.
Outcomes
You will be able to:
-
create complex data models including cross-table parameterised SQL and aggregate SQL functions
-
utilise complex data structures eg stack, queue and binary trees
-
design a complex object-orientated programming (OOP) model
-
implement complex recursive algorithms eg merge sort
-
develop appropriate human computer interaction designs in Tkinter
-
develop an excellent coding style eg the use of cohesive and loosely coupled subroutines grouped together into modules
