The BuildIT Workshop topics are now up. This year, participants can choose up to four of the eight topics offered. We've got some awesome topics in two categories: Present and Future. The categories define skills that students need to know 'now' ... or 'later' once they have graduated. Have a look at the topics and decide which four you might want to attend on the day. There is no extra registration for these sessions.

Remember to join us on Tuesday lunchtime for chalk'n'talk sessions over lunch in the C-Block foyer.
Members from Industry (e.g. experienced software developers) will be joining us to have small, interactive discussion groups to share their stories and talk about things that are relevant in the ICT industry world today. These group sessions will be very unstructured - allowing participants to mingle and participate as much as they want.
Grab your lunch and gather around a group ... or walk between groups ... and participate in the discussions that will be taking place around the lecture block.
