Outreach Activities and School Engagements

Dream Big with CS for Years 7 and 8, Eden Girls School, Slough

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.

Inspire summer school (in collaboration with the STEM team) for Year 11 pupils (Girls only)

GETME Out: Robotics Programming with BBC micro: bit

The workshop covers 3 programming concepts and covered 3 activities focused on physical computing featuring moving and tracing and getting the robot out of a maze.

CS Taster day (in collaboration with the Student Recruitment and Admissions team) for Years 11 and 12 pupils

 The programme includes 2 CS Workshops (Beat the Hacker: Cyber Security Programming with BBC micro: bit and CodeMe: Robotics Programming with BBC micro: bit and Maqueen micro: bit), Talk with a Scientist Session, and Student Experience Session.

CS workshop in RI Masterclasses (in collaboration with STEM team) school for Year 9 pupils

Media interests

Elastic Implicit Skinning for Character Animation: This projects explores the joint use of meshes (the standard representation for 3D animations) and volumetric scalar functions (usually restricted to collision detections) for deforming virtual characters when they are animated, see here for more details.
