💻 Enrichment opportunity: Connect students with computer scientists
Computer Science can seem abstract to students. It’s often hard to see the relevance of their studies in the wider world, or to imagine themselves using computer science in a career.
Connect your KS3 students with computer scientists in 30-minute, text-based Chats this March and beyond.
Thanks to the support from the NCCE, you can book a Computer Science-themed Chat for your students from Monday 18 March 2024.
Connect with computer scientists working in AI, cyber security, robotics, and more
See real-life applications of computing, helping them to engage with their studies
Gain insight into the value of computer science in their everyday life, regardless of career destination
“When students are engaged and start to see the real life impact of a subject, they’re more enthusiastic about it – I noticed an increased motivation to learn following I’m a Scientist.” – Emily Tulloch, science teacher.
The project supports your students’ computer science capital. By connecting with people in diverse computing roles, students can see themselves in those careers and understand that STEM is ‘for them’.
