👉 Friday Computing is an initiative by the University of Cambridge that aims to engage students, teachers, and the broader community in exploring computing through hands-on projects and events. Launched in 2014, it provides students with the opportunity to work on real-world computing projects, often in collaboration with industry partners, fostering practical skills and innovation. The initiative includes the Friday Computing Challenge, where students tackle a series of coding challenges over the course of a weekend, culminating in a showcase of their projects. Additionally, Friday Computing hosts regular events, workshops, and talks that delve into various aspects of computing, from software development to data science, making it a vibrant community hub for learning and creativity in the tech world.
