Equal.STEAM launches Summer of Code challenge
Throughout the week, there will be coding challenges to solve. The goal is "to get people interested in this area in a simple and fun way".
English version: Diana Taborda
For about a week, once a day, teams will be challenged to test their programming skills. After each test, a clue will be given for the following day's challenge. At the end, the teams will receive prizes and more knowledge about coding and programming.
Catarina Silva, one of the initiative's organisers, says that "Programming will be a powerful tool. Summer of Code aims to bring more people into the area of technologies and computer science". The goal is "to make people interested in this area in a simple and fun way", she adds.
The target audience for this event are students, mainly women, who want to learn more about programming, test their knowledge, and have the opportunity to win prizes.
Organised in partnership with the Informatics Students' Union of the Academic Association of Coimbra (NEI/AAC), the event is part of the Equal.STEAM project.
The Summer of Code takes place from 5 to 7 July, starting at 4pm, at the Department of Informatics Engineering of the Faculty of Sciences and Technology, University of Coimbra (Campus II).
