Student Life Hacks
Recently, Compound hosted the fist Hackathon at Loughborough College, engaging T-level students with some real-world problem solving.
Compound brought a team to Loughborough College. They explained basic principles of low code systems and introduced the students to some easy to use tools. The students were broken into teams and went through to complete a sample project surprisingly easily.
At lunch time and in the spirit of coding culture, a huge stack of pizza was devoured. In the afternoon, the student teams pitched their own projects based on the mornings discoveries. At the end, the teams showed off their work and prizes were given out for the most ambitious and promising results.
The hackathon was a day to show the students some examples of real-world code applications and working practices. We kept an eye out for promising students and we be heading back to Loughborough college in September to offer some of them, Institute internships.
