Learning While Having Fun

As computer science becomes a key discipline in the modern tech era, the SITCON team has created a summer camp that blends knowledge and hands-on experience, enabling students interested in the field of technology to easily get started and ignite a passion for the open-source spirit. Since 2014, SITCON Camp has reached its ninth edition, offering courses across a wide range of topics including open source, cybersecurity, maker projects, Python, Node.js, front-end web scraping, data visualization, Telegram bots, and more. The camp also features interactive activities like community challenges, the Vision Café, and hackathons to encourage students to get hands-on and discover their interests and strengths.

This year, SITCON Camp is themed '404 Not Found: Youth Shouldn't Throw Errors', aiming to remind every student with dreams and curiosity that youth is full of unknowns and challenges. Getting lost or encountering errors is perfectly natural. By continuously trying and bravely pushing boundaries, everyone can find their own path through confusion. Just like coding—when problems arise, debug bravely, iterate persistently, and turn every mistake into a chance to grow, creating something meaningful and uniquely brilliant.

AI is leading a new wave in technology, and SITCON Camp 2025 is introducing AI-assisted front-end development courses for the first time. Combined with beginner-friendly back-end programming lessons, the camp will guide students in building their own web applications from scratch. Whether it's crafting useful tools for everyday needs or unleashing imagination to create new innovations, AI can help turn ideas into reality. Through hands-on projects, students will not only understand how AI tools work but also develop interdisciplinary thinking, grasp future tech trends, and carve out a brilliant future of their own.

Core Curriculum

Led by instructors, participants will master core Python skills from scratch—including basic syntax, various data structures, function development, and package management—and explore the operating principles of REST APIs. They will then combine AI assistance to generate web front-ends, ultimately creating their own unique and exciting websites!

Throughout the course, instructors have carefully prepared content interspersed with multiple hands-on exercises, complemented by real-time assistance from numerous teaching assistants and instructors. This ensures that each participant receives sufficient attention and guidance, allowing everyone to keep up with the course progress and continuously improve.

Hackathon

Hackathon is a combination of "hacker" (originally referring to finding imperfections in computer systems or exploring different solutions to improve them) and "marathon." As the name suggests, it's like a marathon for programming and engineering: a group of interested individuals use their expertise to create a distinctive project within a limited time.

Elective Tracks

To avoid limiting participants' vision of the information field through a single teaching approach, the summer camp specifically arranges breadth courses. These allow participants to learn about other aspects of the information field while studying the basic curriculum, increasing the breadth of their information skills. We have invited many authorities who have been active in the information circle for many years to share their experiences, hoping to light a lamp for participants who may be feeling lost, helping them find their own path in information technology.

廣度課程

Vision Café

The "Vision Café" is inspired by the World Café concept. In this summer camp, we invite well-known seniors from various fields and communities, transforming the traditional panel discussion format into a conversational style. Participants can interact closely with famous figures in the information technology field. By shortening the distance between speakers and participants, speakers can provide more targeted advice to participants, who are encouraged to actively ask questions and participate, thereby generating productive two-way communication.

Open Source Spirit talk

The Open Source Spirit talk will invite seniors who have been active in the open source community for many years. Through their experience sharing, we hope participants will gain a better understanding of Open Source and be encouraged to participate in future community activities. At the same time, we will invite many information-related communities to set up booths. Through interactive games, video appreciation, personal introductions, checkpoint challenges, etc., participants will get to know what a "community" is and gain a preliminary understanding of open source activities.

Challenge Activities

"What exactly is programming for?" This may be a question many people have. True, you can still order food at McDonald's, play computer games, and post Instagram stories without knowing how to program. But without programming skills, you absolutely cannot complete this challenge.

Whether you're someone who carefully observes the environment and thoughtfully considers clues, or someone with endless ideas pursuing programming efficiency, integrate the programming, logic, puzzle-solving, and teamwork skills you've learned so far. Experience the essence of solving one puzzle after another, and find the meaning of "learning programming"!

About SITCON

SITCON (Student IT Conference) is a community initiated by students dedicated to promoting information education and open source spirit. It's a computing conference organized by students, featuring student speakers, and focused on students, providing them with a platform to share and exchange technical knowledge. Beyond technical discussions, the conference includes experience sharing from student perspectives, research project presentations, and discussions on student-related issues. We've also organized hackathons, workshops, and joint lectures with various school clubs across different regions.
