Preparing young people for the challenges of technology
In a world where technology changes every aspect of life, programming skills have become more important than ever. To help high school students prepare for the challenges of the future, the University Metropolitan Tirana (UMT) has introduced MetroCode, an innovative program that offers the opportunity to learn programming and applied sciences in an interactive and fun way.
MetroCode: A student initiative for guiding high school graduates
MetroCode is an initiative that comes as a student project for students, aiming to guide high school graduates towards better career orientation and help them develop essential skills for their academic and professional future. This program is an excellent opportunity for those who want to dive into the world of technology and programming. During this 5-week course, participants will engage in practical lessons that combine Python programming with mathematical visualization through the Manim library.
A practical and interactive approach to programming and mathematics
Through this course, high school students will acquire essential skills such as coding, creating visual simulations, and developing projects that help them understand theoretical concepts through practice. Manim, a library that enables the creation of dynamic animations, will be a powerful tool to transform mathematics and programming into a more understandable and engaging experience for young people. This innovative approach aims to change the way these disciplines, which often seem difficult or abstract, are perceived.
Another important aspect of the program is the development of collaboration skills, as participants work in groups to solve various challenges and develop their algorithmic thinking. This is a key component of any technology-related profession, strengthening the youth for a successful future in various industries.
Scholarships and opportunities for academic futures
In addition to the educational aspect, MetroCode offers excellent opportunities for those wishing to continue their studies at the University Metropolitan Tirana. Participants who demonstrate outstanding results during the course may receive scholarships of up to 100%, opening the door to a successful career in computer science and artificial intelligence.
The program aims to help young people understand their potential and discover their passion for technology and innovation. During the course, students will present their work to a panel of experts and mentors from the technology field, an excellent opportunity for those who want to see their ideas come to life and receive professional feedback.
MetroCode will begin on April 3rd and conclude on May 2nd, 2025, offering a great opportunity for Albanian youth to engage in an educational and professional journey that could serve as a springboard for their success in the field of technology. This program is more than just a programming course – it’s an opportunity to open new doors in a world increasingly oriented towards technology and innovation.
For those passionate about technology and eager to be part of the change, MetroCode is a golden opportunity to enter this field and help the next generation of Albanian programmers and innovators succeed.
