Casey Hopkins at Technocamps' International Women's Day 2023
Casey’s route into STEM was an unusual one. She was set to be a French teacher until the course she’d wanted to study got cancelled due to lack of interest. Casey decided instead to study Computer Science, on the assumption it would involve graphics.
After discovering graphics was not a part of the course, Casey came across Technocamps and wanted to get involved, so she selected a teaching module that was run by Technocamps Director Prof Faron Moller. This allowed her to teach Computer Science in local schools. After graduating, Casey worked as a Teaching Fellow at Technocamps, which involved developing and delivering many inspiring and innovative computer science workshops to both primary and secondary pupils, as well as teaching Swansea University students modules on their Software Engineering degrees.
Casey now works as a Computer Science senior lecturer and Programme Director for Applied Software Engineering BSc at Swansea University.
