IglooCode 2025

14th April 2025

Today, eight students from the KS3 ICT Club at St Kevins visited the Computer Science Building at Queens University Belfast to participate in the IglooCode 2025 competition. Numerous schools from across Northern Ireland competed in teams of four. Students were introduced to one another through a "Human Bingo" icebreaker activity and then got a taste of student life by attending their first lecture on "Cybersecurity".

After a brief break, students engaged in a series of challenges that prompted them to think about Scratch, Python, C#, Binary, and Number formats. They worked diligently in their teams to complete tasks and accumulate points. We are now awaiting the results to see which teams scored the highest on the day. Overall, the students had a fantastic day, and the ICT department was thrilled to witness such enthusiasm for the subject.

Congratulations to everyone involved.
