University of the West of England (UWE), along with University of Bristol, University of Exeter, University of Plymouth, and the Odyssey Learning Alliance (NCCE Hub), have partnered together to offer a series of regional workshops to support schools and teachers in Cyber Security Education. The initiative is supported by the National Cyber Security Centre, through the Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Education (ACE-CSE) scheme.
Workshops will be hosted on the following dates:
Wednesday 17th January 2024 – University of the West of England Wednesday 24th January 2024 – University of Exeter
Friday 2nd February 2024 – University of Bristol
Tuesday 6th February 2024 – University of Plymouth
Friday 23rd February 2024 – University of Exeter (new date)
Thanks to the NCSC we can offer £150 per school to support supply teacher cover for attending a workshop.
At each workshop, you will find:
• Practical teaching examples that you can use in your classrooms with lesson materials and plans mapping to the curriculum.
• Activity walk-throughs by staff to showcase how to run the activities as part of lessons or code clubs.
• Support from the wider University and schools’ networks to help you.
• Access to our equipment loan library for running practical activities.
All attending schools can request access to the South West regional equipment loan library, to help you make use of teaching materials and deliver innovative practical teaching as mapped against the current key stage curriculum.
