We are so pleased with the results of our two OUCC 2024 finalists! They achieved third and ninth place which is amazing considering how many pupils participated in the original @BebrasUK challenge. Well done! @ucshampstead

Thank you to Old Gower's (2023), Mikaeel (University of Warwick) and Adam (Imperial College London), for taking time out of their CS degrees and making a return to AI Society this week to deliver a fantastic session on word embeddings! @UCSHampstead

The Computer Science in Action enrichment day by @edu_in_action seems to get better each year! On Wednesday, our Transitus A-level CS pupils enjoyed a series of engaging talks on UX Design, Smart Cities and Machine Learning, Quantum Computing and Web Development. @UCSHampstead

[UCS Computer Science @UCSCompSci]

We had a fantastic day at @computermuseum in Cambridge. Our Remove CS pupils were treated to a history tour of computers, an interactive workshop on the CPU, a programming class using BBC BASIC and some time to explore computer games from the 70s onwards! @UCSHampstead

[UCS Computer Science @UCSCompSci]

Big thank you to Old Gower, Mikaeel, for coming back to speak at our A-level Machine Learning enrichment course about studying Computer Science at Warwick University. @UCSHampstead

Today's final #CSBreakfast session of the year was on how AI enabled #AlphaGo to beat a world champion Go player! This was the icing on the cake of what has been an incredibly well delivered and organised series of sessions on CS theory... all from a pupil in Y8! @UCSHampstead

[UCS Computer Science @UCSCompSci]

Our Y12 Computer Scientists enjoyed a visit to @ibm in London yesterday. They were treated to a tour of emerging tech, an agile workshop and a Q&A panel with early career professionals! @UCSHampstead

[UCS Computer Science @UCSCompSci]

Computer Science Breakfast for Y7 & 8 is back. Today's session is on logic gates! Entirely led by one of our fantastic Y8 pupils. #computerscience #enrichment @UCSHampstead

AI Society continues to be a popular activity for our Sixth Formers. This week two of our A-level #ComputerScience students delivered a session on creating a #machinelearning program in #Python to categorise certain types of monsters as part of our enrichment week! @ucshampstead

[UCS Computer Science @UCSCompSci]

Thank you to everyone involved for organising a fantastic evening! @UCShampstead #computerscience #greenimpact

[UCS Computer Science @UCSCompSci]

Yesterday, we took our computer science students who have been involved in the @CamdenCleanAir CAPS Project to visit @Google HQ at Pancras Square to celebrate their achievements and discuss future solutions for cleaner air.

[UCS Computer Science @UCSCompSci]

Good luck to our Year 11, 10 and 9 pupils participating in the second round of the #PerseTeamCodingChallenge 2022. A fantastic coding competition! #computerscience #coding @p_d_baker @ucshampstead

[UCS Computer Science @UCSCompSci]

A great set of talks so far. #ALevelComputerScience @edu_in_action #ComputerScienceInAction

[UCS Computer Science @UCSCompSci]

Good luck to all of our Computer Scientists who are completing the Bebras Challenge 2021 this week – a fantastic #computationalthinking competition. This year we have over 400 pupils taking part – our highest number yet.

Last week, we were privileged to host @arkitus, a research scientist at Google @DeepMind, for a fascinating talk on A.I. and Machine Learning at our very popular A.I. Society. Highlights included #AlphaGo, the first computer to defeat a Go world champion. @ucshampstead

[UCS Computer Science @UCSCompSci]

A.I. Society was well attended this week as one of our leading Sixth Former’s delivered an outstanding talk on what neural networks are and how they are used in machine learning. @UCShampstead #machinelearning #computerscience

[UCS Computer Science @UCSCompSci]

It is great to be back with our highest ever number of A-level & GCSE pupils studying Computer Science this year. We are also running 4 clubs/societies each week including Games Programming, British Informatics Olympiad, AI Society, and Lower School Programming! #computerscience

[UCS Computer Science @UCSCompSci]

Remove pupils are currently enjoying a joint @UCSCompSci and @UCSPhysics physical computing enrichment activity building #microbit controlled buzz wire games (coded in python)! @UCSHampstead @microbit_edu
