ESF CoCo 2024

We aim to encourage and influence student interest in computer science by providing a platform that can foster engagement with content that is not found in traditional curricula. The event consists of two main components, workshops and a hackathon.

The hackathon will serve as a platform to encourage students to embrace outside-the-box thinking and tackle pertinent global challenges through the power of programming. Contrary to the stereotype of programmers as isolated individuals confined to their rooms with computers as their sole companions, this event will foster collaborative problem-solving. Participants will have the opportunity to compete alongside their friends, fostering an environment of camaraderie and teamwork. However, since it is a competition, we will also generate friendly rivalries among the teams and offer exciting prizes to the winners.

Our workshops are meticulously designed to equip students with practical skills and knowledge that can be directly applied in their future endeavours. These workshops offer a unique opportunity for participants to engage with industry experts and gain a deeper understanding of emerging technologies, trends, and best practices. Through interactive sessions and hands-on activities, students will have the chance to explore cutting-edge concepts and refine their technical abilities. The workshops also provide a platform for networking and forging connections with professionals in the technology sector, opening doors to potential internships, mentorship opportunities, and future collaborations. By immersing themselves in these workshops, students will be well-prepared to navigate the dynamic landscape of technology and make meaningful contributions towards shaping a sustainable future.
