Reddam House pupil, James McGuire from Bedfordview, attended the recent University of Johannesburg Delphi Winter School.
James, one of 75 matric pupils from various schools in the greater Johannesburg area, attended the winter school. He received a R10 000 bursary from the Faculty of Science to study at the faculty. A task was given to the group to solve and James was the best performer in the group.
“It is with sincere thanks to my IT teacher, Ms Aletta Forster and her brilliant teaching, that I was able to win and receive the bursary,” said James.
The Academy for Computer Science and Software Engineering at the University of Johannesburg started the winter school for IT in 2009. The aim of the winter school is to support grade 12 pupils with the programming component of the school curriculum. It also aims to assist pupils who are working towards a distinction and want to fine-tune their programming skills in preparation for the final examination.
