Who

Booking essential

In this hands-on workshop, we will understand what an algorithm is and how important it is to write a correct algorithm in order to make a computer do a particular task. We will start by exploring algorithms that occur in our daily lives and then use this knowledge to teach a 30-year old BBC Micro computer to count!

This workshop is aimed at children aged 8 and over and is ideal for children at the upper KS2 level. This workshop has been developed to provide a gentle introduction to text-based programming for primary students. 

Please note that all under 14's must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
