The BPhO Computational Challenge teaches data processing, modelling and coding skills used by professional scientists. Ten weekly talks by Dr Andrew French of Winchester College introduce a physics model each week; students can work in Excel or learn Python from week 5. The course also helps revise A-level physics and maths.
