Thank you to every participant, speaker and mentor! We announce the next edition here and on our social channels - or write to us and we will let you know.
How the programme works
Five days, Monday to Friday.
IT Summer School runs from 10:00 to 17:00. Each day combines presentations for the whole group with hands-on workshops in small groups. You will find a community where you learn by doing, meet people as passionate as you are, and see what is happening in IT, locally and globally.
Topics
What IT Summer School covers.
Artificial Intelligence
More than search or chatbots: we take apart the myths around AI and explore its everyday practical uses, its benefits, its risks and the solutions ahead.
Cybersecurity
Introductory concepts and methods, cyber risks and security solutions - and how they connect to the programme’s other topics.
Product Development & Startups
The theme that ties it all together: the opportunities, challenges and impact of turning an idea into a real tech product, locally and globally.
Speakers and mentors
Professionals who want to pass on what they know.
Speakers present one of the programme’s topics to the whole group, while mentors lead the discussions and debates in the small groups. You ask questions, debate ideas and come up with practical solutions to a real problem, using the latest technologies.
