Orbital is an optional, self-driven, hands-on, summer project course for year 1 students.

The mission of the course is to give you the opportunity to get some practical experience on software development while granting you modular credits (along with other perks such as testimonials and prizes).

You will be working on a software project of your choice in teams of 2.

There are no formal lectures but two mandatory events: Lift-off (introductory workshop + idea presentation, 11 May) and Splashdown (project presentation + award ceremony, 26 Aug). You will also need to submit progress report online on a monthly basis. Otherwise, it’s independent learning and software development, under the guidance of our teaching team.

Tentatively, the application for Orbital 2020 will be open on 11 Mar with an information session on the same day. The application will be closed on 18 Mar and the successful applicants will be notified by email by mid Apr. A sample proposal can be found @ https://bit.ly/orbital20-sample.

[Do note that all the events might be held online instead of physically in view of the recent coronavirus situation.]

Please watch out for our email / Facebook announcements for more updates.
