KCL Tech is King’s College London’s dedicated Technology society, bringing together students with different skill sets from various disciplines to create an innovative and supportive community. The society has quickly built up a reputation for having exciting events from hosting TechSummit - the UK’s biggest student tech career fair, to running multiple hackathons, as well as providing workshops, and talks with industry. What’s more, all of our events, and membership, are free.
Focusing on three core aspects, Careers, Hackathons and Programming Workshops, the newly launched KCL Tech Academy aims to expand on the latter with not just workshops and bootcamps but supporting students with digital resources and tutorials.
The newly launched KCL Tech Academy hosts Programming Workshops, Bootcamps, Tutorials, and Insights, aiming to equip students with practical coding skills, and foster a collaborative environment for tech-driven innovation, and career development.
