Some of our Year 8 girls were lucky enough to be invited to a Computing and Technology day at Edge Hill University.
The day focused on girl's design aspirations by focusing on design and creativity through technology and computing. Activities included wearable technology, designing inspirational mobile apps,and creating small computer games using Stencyl. They also looked at stereo-types of computer scientists. The girls enjoyed computing and technology in a fun atmosphere.
The day certainly inspired some of our year 8 girls to be some of our future Computer Scientists!

The JMU team have recently invested heavily in new materials and processes to make this year’s car the most competitive yet.
