Since 2016, we have held a regular workshop series on Python in data science for professional clients. We can also hold custom workshops on other specialized
topics; please contact cs-info@memphis.edu for more information.
As an official chapter of , we organized several free workshops to introduce girls ages 10-18 to coding. These
workshops covered various topics including Scratch, App Inventor, HTML/CSS, JavaScript,
Python, and Java. Workshops were hosted at a number of different locations, including
the UofM, Christian Brothers University, St. Mary's Episcopal School, and Hutchison
School.
Our faculty and students have helped teach several pre-college computer science courses
with Memphis nonprofit . Funded collaborations have included the TigerCrew project, which involved having
UofM undergraduates teach computer science using the Unity 3D game engine. TigerCrew
was funded with an $18,500 Strengthening Communities grant from the UofM School of Urban Affairs and Public Policy.
We have hosted numerous visits from pre-college students, and we have sent UofM faculty/student
representatives to speak at a number of local schools. Please contact cs-info@memphis.edu to arrange a visit.
