Abstract

In this presentation we will explain how a programming bootcamp has been implemented at the Open University UK for students on Computer Science qualifications who are transitioning from Stage 1 to Stage 2 studies. In addition the on-going quantitative analysis of both data on how students engaged with different elements of the bootcamp programme as well as data on their performance at Stage 2 will be discussed. We would be pleased to hear from conference delegates who have run skills bootcamps in any of the STEM disciplines.
