With the tremendous success of its inaugural staging, the JamCoders Camp will return to The University of the West Indies (UWI), Mona in July. The programme which was founded by Jamar ‘Chronixx’ McNaughton, originally announced a January 25 deadline to register on its Website, but extended it to February 28 and again to today, March 6. Organised in collaboration with the UWI Department of Computing, JamCoders is modelled on AddisCoder, a programme that Professor Jelani Nelson founded in Ethiopia. Last year, the camp saw 50 students from high schools across 12 parishes graduating following an intensive, four-week algorithm coding lectures and lab sessions.
