Meet the Faculty of Computer Science Social & Lecture

Curious what a university computer science lecture is really like?

Join us for an engaging and interactive experience designed for students in grades 10–12 and their families who are interested in exploring the world of computer science.

Hosted by Dalhousie’s Faculty of Computer Science, this event combines a relaxed, in-person Coffee Social with a hands-on, university-style lecture led by Dr. Ragav Sampangi.
 

Arrive early to connect with:

• Faculty members
• Current computer science students
• Other prospective students and families

Enjoy some drinks, snacks, and conversation while getting a feel for the Dalhousie community and student experience.
 

Experience a real university-style lecture in a fun, accessible way. In this session, you will:

• Learn key concepts of problem-solving in computer science
• Get hands-on experience building a simple website using AI tools
• See what learning in a computer science program is really like

No prior experience is required—just bring your curiosity!

This lecture will be offered in-person and virtually, and will be recorded for those who can’t attend live.
