Remove pupils are currently enjoying a joint UCS Computer Science and UCS Physics physical computing enrichment activity building #microbit controlled buzz wire games (coded in python)! UCS Hampstead Micro:bit Educational Foundation

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

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. UCS Hampstead #machinelearning #computerscience

Last week, we were privileged to host Ali Eslami, 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. UCS Hampstead

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. UCS Hampstead Bebras UK #computerscience

A great set of talks so far. #ALevelComputerScience Education in Action #ComputerScienceInAction

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 Paul Baker UCS Hampstead

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! UCS Hampstead

We are hiring for a Second in Department in Computer Science. See link for more details: ucs.org.uk/vacancies/teac… #computerscience #python #aqa #alevel #gcse UCS Hampstead

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 UCS Hampstead

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! UCS Hampstead

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! UCS Hampstead

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. UCS Hampstead

We had a fantastic day at Computing History 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! UCS Hampstead

The Computer Science in Action enrichment day by Education 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. UCS Hampstead

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! UCS Hampstead

Good luck to our two Oxford University Computing Challenge 2024 finalists in Y7 and Y9! A fantastic achievement! Read about them reaching the final on our website here: ucs.org.uk/news/computer-… Bebras UK UCS Hampstead

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
