Computer Science forms a key part of everyday life. When we think about how many technological devices and software programs we use every day it is hard to image how many people have careers within this field to keep up with demands.Our Computing Science course teaches how modern technology such as tablets, virtual reality, simulation and mobile technology work and develops pupils programming skills, giving them an understanding of how software such as mobile apps and computer games are made. These skills are not only useful for pupils considering a career within this field but will undoubtedly be crucial in a future which is becoming every increasingly technology based.
Topics covered in our Computing Science course include:
- App Inventor
- BBC MicroBit
- Kodu game design
- Computer Hardware and Networks
- Mobile Technology
- Web Design
- Databases
