Implanting ourselves into this terms Teach & Code Social, this month we will have the luxury of hearing from 2 speakers!

ARC's very own Dr James Wilson will be 'Introducing STEP-UP' - a 4 year EPSRC funded project to create a ‘people infrastructure’ of expert technical talent, along with career opportunities to support them.

Ben Waugh, from the department of Physics & Astronomy, will then focus our attention on programming for first-year physics students - describing the approach taken, and the tools used, to teach and assess programming as part of the first-year practical skills course in 
the Department of Physics and Astronomy. He will also talk about the challenges faced, and discuss how these can be tackled in his 
department and elsewhere.
