Plymouth – Saturday 18th February
Bristol – Saturday 4th March
Trailblazers, Year 8, 9am – 12.45pm
This is the first in a series of CyberFirst events which will start each student on the exciting path of considering which GCSE’s they will take and how Computer Science can play a key role in future career prospects. Students can learn the basics of customising a website, learn about digital forensics and how to identify the first person who has contracted a disease using open-source intelligence, and use design tools to create digital adverts.
Adventurers, Year 9, 1pm – 4.45pm
This is the second in a series of events which has been created, to highlight the varied roles and jobs that both exist and involve technology in the workplace. This will excite and enthuse students with an interest in technology, both in what we use now and in the future. It has also been designed to counter the stereotype that computer science is a subject that only leads to jobs in programming and coding. The course is aimed at students who have not yet made their GCSE choices, so that they get the opportunity to see how studying computer science could potentially form and enhance their future career paths.
