UNSW’s School of Computer Science and Engineering is running its very popular HS1511 course again this term! Expressions of interest are now open to students via the link below. We are prioritising students in year 10 and 11.

I will be convening this course, delivering lectures, and will be the main point of contact. This course involves an introduction to computer science as taught at the university level. Course content mimics that of the first-year courses and involves content such as:
- Introduction to C
- Variables and data types
- Loops and conditional operation
- Memory management
- Data structures
- Introductory algorithms
This program is run entirely online with an expected contact hour workload of only 3-5 hours per week.
This is open to students as young as year 9 and up to year 12, however year 10 and 11 will be shown preference.
The course will start on the 18th of August and part A will run for 9 weeks. Students will need to have access to the internet and preferably a computer of their own.
Please note, not all students will be guaranteed a place as enrolments are limited. However, we will endeavour to get in touch with everyone that applies.

In May Miranda-Chelsea Vernardakis attended a week of work experience with the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UNSW. The university offers a select number of students from high schools across Sydney the opportunity to engage in Engineering projects and activities hosted by the various Engineering schools within the university.
Miranda-Chelsea was awarded a gift voucher for writing the most noteworthy report of the experience.
Students interested in applying for future opportunities in Engineering at UNSW should regularly check their school emails from the Careers Adviser, Ms Salisbury, as these placements are very popular and book up very quickly after being advertised.
Congratulations to Miranda-Chelsea!
