Abstract

We have been running summer computing camps at the University of Limerick, Ireland, since 2010. The three-day camps are offered to boys and girls aged 14 and up. During the summer of 2015 we ran two computing camps where we focused on strategy development for the ChainReaction board game with the jABC workflow modelling framework for the first time. In this paper we describe the freely available software packages and the camp programme that we designed around them.
