Raise a Tree
by Ben Gazzard 15 Dec '11

15 Dec '11

Raise A Tree is a Safe, Educational World for Schools that teaches about the importance of trees, the environment and climate change in a fun and interactive way. Pupils get to plant their own virtual trees, nurturing them and answering online educational activities in order to help them grow, whilst simultaneously learning about environmental and green issues in a non-dictatorial manner. Raise A Tree can be used individually, with parents or as part of a classroom activity. Schools can purchase a license directly at better value than most e-learning software packages, or companies can gift the subscriptions to schools as part their corporate social responsibility programs. Real trees can be bought to plant in school grounds whilst the children grow their virtual trees. Raise A Tree was founded & developed by Andy Stephenson when he was an undergraduate at Durham University, and field tested during his Masters to ensure it fits with the curriculum in primary schools. The public website had tens of thousands of downloads on the iTunes store, and a new version of this is expected to be developed soon. Raise A Tree is supported by two great tech hubs in the north east; Sunderland Software City and Digital City Business. With Dominic Tarn coming onboard as co-founder, and the support of these tech hubs, this startup is going through a rapid international expansion. Raise A Tree: "Growing Towards a Brighter Future."

Re: [compsoc-jobs] Part-time work / internship opportunity
by alex berkley 30 Nov '11

Dear CompSoc Jobs, Please would you forward the following advert to your members. Many thanks, Alex. *Part-time software developer wanted* I'm looking for a student with excellent c# skills to help me write some code on a part-time and/or holiday basis. I'm launching a systematic/quant hedge fund and the role would involve helping me develop software that will form the core of the fund's operation such as position keeping, trading signal generation, broker connectivity via API, building simulation environment, statistical tests etc. The style of development will be OO and fairly agile. No financial experience is necessary but previous experience writing mult-threaded applications would be extremely useful. I can offer modest payment and great experience for someone wanting to enter banking and finance and gain some insight into how a hedge fund really works. Salary and hours are negotiable and can be on a project-by-project or continuous part-time basis. Given the nature of the role, there's no real geographic constraint however proximity to London would be a bonus (so that we can occasionally meet in person). This also has the potential to lead to a permanent role in the future. I've been involved in the hedge fund industry as a quant since graduating from Cambridge University (MMath) and was recently involved in a recent successful hedge fund launch. I'm now looking to launch a fund by myself and need some additional programmer resource as my time is coming under increasing pressure. Happy to provide my CV or to discuss further (07891 124 914).

----- Forwarded message from James <james(a)staircase3.com> ----- Date: Thu, 28 Apr 2011 15:48:31 +0100 From: James <james(a)staircase3.com> To: committee(a)ox.compsoc.net Subject: Incubator for Oxford Students Hey guys, I've only just realised that Comp Soc has gone dormant, what a shame - I was wondering what happened to all the emails I used to get, even after I left Oxford a few years back. Anyway, if you guys still have a mailing list I have something that may be of interest: The guys I work with are targeting graduating students who are hoping to build technology based startups and offering investment and an incubation program that runs for 2 months over the Summer. We are a team of four Balliol alumni who have been working in startups since graduation and looking to help other Oxford students take the leap into entrepreneurship. We're offering £5k to 2 to 3 teams, along with office space and mentoring to help them build their companies. This is targeted towards graduating studnets, but if someone has a blinding idea we'd love to hear it. See www.betafoundry.com for more. Best, James -- http://www.staircase3.com http://www.opensignalmaps.com +44 20 32 39 59 58 ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Dominic Hargreaves | http://www.larted.org.uk/~dom/ PGP key 5178E2A5 from the.earth.li (keyserver,web,email)
