The Department of Computer Science in partnership with IBM and the Saskatoon Indian & Métis Friendship Centre (SIMFC) is holding a three-day IGNITE science and technology camp for Aboriginal youth at the University of Saskatchewan on July 19-21, 2011.
The IGNITE (IGNiting Interest in Technology and Engineering) Camps are designed to provide Aboriginal youth with a hands-on learning experience in science and technology. IGNITE camps have been part of the Department’s outreach for the past 5 years.
This year’s workshops include Lego Robotics, SNAP circuits, creating games with Game Maker, online privacy and Facebook, and art work. In addition, campers will tour the U of S campus and Human-Computer Interaction lab as well as attend a talk by Trevor Cameron, Assistant Director/writer/story editor of Wapos Bay.

The Department of Computer Science Professional Internship Program allows undergraduate students to obtain 12 or 16 months of practical "on-the-job" experience with a sponsoring company prior to completing the final year of their undergraduate degree program. The existence of a formally recognized internship program offers significant benefits to the students, to the industrial sponsors, to the department, and to the university as a whole. These benefits include: practical training and work experience for the students; technology transfer, productive work contribution, and prospective employee evaluation for the employer; and increased university-industry interaction for the department and the university. We are now accepting applications from companies and students interested in partcipating in the program. Interns will be placed in May/Sept 2013.
