+Welcome to the main page of the NYJC Computing website!
+
+This site was set up to provide more information to current and prospective students of NYJC about the programme structure and opportunities available to them.
+
+This site, along with other ongoing projects, is also structured as an opportunity for our students to learn: they will have the opportunity to make code contributions (called commits) to our existing codebases. In the process, they will learn more about software engineering and programming.
+
+If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us using the social media icons below the footer.
