The ‘Bring IT On’ event was sponsored by Department for the Economy and saw 60 Year 11 – 14 pupils from Magherafelt High School and Sperrin Integrated College taking part in an educational initiative to showcase computer science opportunities at Northern Regional College. The College worked collaboratively with local employers such as the RAF, PSNI, Cyber Unit and Instil to provide a series of computer science workshops and coding activities for post-primary school pupils in the Magherafelt area.
