This week two 15 year olds, Brandon and Leo, joined the Computing department at 25 St James for their work experience week. Here’s their report on what they did.

At Goldsmiths, University of London we spent one week in the computing department where we learnt various coding and programming skills and used different pieces of software such as the Coursera Creative Programming course & Code Academy.

We found that it was a very interesting experience and a different change of scenery from going to school week in week out. It was a more relaxed environment than school and it was a nice end to our year.

We would highly recommend pursuing a course in Creative Computing or Computer Science at Goldsmiths. For people of our age group, we would also recommend attending work experience at this department as you may regret missing the opportunity to work here in favour of somewhere else.
