This workshop introduces students to cryptographic techniques used both in ancient history and during the modern era. By understanding and implementing these techniques, students will strengthen their logical thinking and mathematics skills.
C3: Scratch Molecule Modelling
This workshop will develop pupils’ knowledge of atoms and molecules and their behaviour as well as using Scratch to model different states of matter and simple chemical reactions.
C3: Python Mathematics
This workshop develops students’ knowledge of programming, focusing on Python. With the help of Turtle library, students will strengthen their understanding of geometry and learn how to program various shapes using the Python.
C3: Greenfoot Ecosystems
This workshop develops students’ knowledge of ecosystems, in particular, the food chain. Students then develop their knowledge on the Java-based Greenfoot environment by producing a game which is a simulation of an ecosystem.
C3: Computational Thinking
In this workshop, pupils will be looking at the concept of Computational Thinking and applying it to solve problems and simulate real-world sequences in Scratch.
CS101: Assembly Language
This aim of this workshop is to develop students’ confidence with assembly language programming in Little Man Computer. Students will use their ability to decompose processes before solving complex problems, including sequences as seen in GCSE Mathematics.
CS101: HTML
This workshop introduces students to HTML. It provides them with the necessary skill to create their own HTML web page(s) to be used as a tool for revision.
CS101: Algorithms II
This workshop builds on the first whilst focusing on implementing the various algorithms using Python. Students will learn how to create and utilise algorithms including sort and search algorithms, whilst reinforcing their programming knowledge.
CS101: Algorithms I
This workshop develops students’ ability to decompose complex processes through the use of flowcharts and step-by-step instructions. These skills are then applied to solve a Numeracy GCSE-style question and examples of commonly used algorithms are explored.
LEGO
The LEGO Mindstorms NXT is a programmable robotics kit which can be used to create many different robots which can complete a variety of tasks. During these workshops, you get to build your own LEGO Mindstorms robots, and then you can program them to complete a series of tasks. These workshops give an overview of robotics hardware and programming constructs, … Read More
