The Microtopia CS summer school for girls for Years 8,9,10 and 11

We held a 3-day summer school from the 9th - 11th of July, where we welcomed 90 girls to our campus from 3 local schools: Eden Girls' School, The Green School for Girls, and UTC Heathrow. The summer school is Interdisciplinary and collaborative and has embedded various industries. It engages in real-world problems and links to the UNSDGs. The summer school establishes a connection to the world and future career plans. It is also designed to promote how CS can be a part of their career plan and how CS would be a driving force for good.

Dream Big with Computer Science: Basic robotics programming using BBC micro: bit and Maqueen robot

We introduced the micro: bit and its block-based programming, and the Maqueen robot. The micro: bit is used to program the Maqueen robot to run a range of activities that focus on physical computing featuring things that move, buzz, or light up so that students get immediate feedback and are encouraged to delve deeper into the CS topics that we covered.
