Syllabus for the inaugural JamCoders Summer Program, which I was selected to be a part of.
- How to use Python 3 for programming, beginning with variables, types, operations, and error handling.
- Intermediate techniques such as list comprehensions, recursion, and search algorithms like binary and linear search.
- Fundamental algorithmic concepts including time complexity, sorting algorithms (e.g., mergesort, quicksort), and data structures like dictionaries, stacks, and queues.
- Advanced topics such as graphs and connectivity, memoization, Towers of Hanoi, and string edit distance.
- Practical programming using Jupyter Notebooks and Anaconda for hands-on exercises and projects.
- Real-world insights during Career Day and a final exam, followed by a graduation ceremony.
- Enrichment through field trips to Hope Zoo and Holywell Park, thanks to the support of community sponsors like StarApple Analytics.
The program ran from July 4 to July 29, 2022, in Kingston, Jamaica, at the University of the West Indies (UWI) Mona Campus. It provided both foundational and advanced computer science skills in a collaborative, supportive environment.
