The School of Computing at Dublin City University runs a series of one-week courses for Transition Year students from the local catchment area each year during the month of January. The course has been designed after consultation with TY coordinators from over two dozen schools, staff from the University, and students.

Welcome Session	Creating Websites

This year, Compute TY's main sponsor is Lero with Microsoft and Lenovo as sponsors of prizes. Lenovo have kindly donated a laptop which will be given as a prize for the best website designed on the course by a single student. Microsoft have also donated the second prize of an X-Box and end of week prizes of Halo 3 games, which will be presented weekly to a student or students from each school with the best website. This year, Compute TY will have over 400 students attending the course which runs every week from 7th January - 31st January 2009 in the School of Computing on the DCU campus in Glasnevin. At the close of each week students get a chance to present their web sites at a special concluding ceremony. At the end of the ceremony each student receives a certificate of completion.
