The RECEPTION & “SPEED GEEK”
Friday 16th June, 6pm - 10.30pm
The Speed Geek last year was a highlight so we’ve opted to repeat the format. A speed geek takes it’s name from speed dating and is a highly immersive and fun way to be introduced to a whole range of new ideas for introducing computing in to our classrooms.
This event will start with a reception in the computer science building, inc. buffet food and refreshments.
