- Advertising to our students: who are interested in working for one of our industry partners can subscribe to our mailing list for the latest opportunities. Get applications from some of the most sought-after engineering students in the country.
High School Computing
This course introduces students to the basics of Computer Programming and Computer Science. It is intended as an opportunity to experience studying in Computer Science or related fields.
The course material has been adapted from CSE Programming Fundamentals and has been reproduced with format and content suitable for high school students using a remote learning methodology.
Students will participate in study groups and be mentored by senior undergraduate computer science students. This will give high school students an experience of undergraduate computer science studies.
This course aims for students to become proficient in a high-level programming language, C. It also focuses on mental preparedness for programming long term, including problem solving, debugging and testing.
Primary School Workshops
The extremely popular Primary School Workshops are currently on hold due to lab restrictions and software availability.
Developed to create interest in engineering and technology, these workshops are a great opportunity for your students to explore the exciting world of robotics in a hands-on environment.
Students currently in Year 5 and 6 will have the opportunity to participate in a free full-day excursion to a university computer science laboratory. They will be taught how to build and program a robot using LEGO Mindstorms.

ProgComp
UNSW High Schools Programming Competition: Teams of three high school students are given tasks to complete within a time limit.The goal is to solve as many tasks as possible, in any order, in any programming language, on a single computer.Teams are awarded points for correct results, programming, and testing.Competition rounds culminate in a Grand Final held on the Kensington Campus with cash prizes and scholarships to be won.
Comp Club
CSESoc CompClub is run by computing students at UNSW, and is focused on running educational programs for highschool students to introduce them to computing!
Workshops on campus and at high schools include:
Code space workshops
Regional/Rural road-trips
Summer spy school
Game Dev
Intro to C
Security Education (hacking!)
Hackathons
