The National University of Singapore (NUS) School of Computing (SOC) Summer Workshop 2021 is the third edition of the Summer Workshop organized by NUS, School of Computing.
This year's workshop will mark the return of the popular programme as 2020's workshop was cancelled amid the COVID-19 pandemic. It will be held online entirely in view of the on-going global pandemic.
Our highly-interactive programme aims to integrate theory into practice. In addition to providing a deep focus in high-demand computing fields (e.g. Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, FinTech, Media and IoT), it highlights the real-life relevance of these specialised knowledge through hands-on application.
Students gain valuable industry insights and knowledge through lectures and have opportunities to hone and flex their computing skills through projects.
