TWO Northern Ireland companies have joined together with Belfast Metropolitan College (Belfast Met) to offer budding IT engineers the chance to develop their skills.
Novosco Cloud Camp, which is organised by Novosco and supported by Almac, will run at Belfast Met’s Titanic Quarter Campus between August 7-11, 2017.
Free of charge and open to students over the age of 16 (on August 7) at schools and colleges across Northern Ireland, it will provide hands-on IT infrastructure experience, as well as a fun learning environment. Professional IT engineers and Belfast Met lecturers will facilitate the camp, which will also involve a tour of Novosco’s Catalyst Inc headquarters to allow students to see a worldclass managed cloud company in action.
In addition to free registration, all participants will be provided with a free Raspberry Pi computer to keep, as well as a £5 lunch voucher per day.
The camp will help students develop their skills in areas including Python programming, hardware and operating systems, and cloud technologies, such as creating a virtual server and basic HTML programming.
