  4. Workshops • Teaching computational thinking and problem deconstruction • Jonathan Westlake – School of Computing Staffordshire University • This session will show an example of how to break down a problem and be aware of the code you need to create a solution using Object Oriented concepts. • 11.45 in K130 • Access to Sequel • Peter Radford from Sir Stanley Matthews Academy & Nicklaus Rowlands from Cheslyn Hay Sport and Community High School • Making the transition from Access in ICT to Sequel in Computer Science • 10.30 and 14.00 in K125 • Kodu and other Microsoft offerings • Stuart Ball - Microsoft - Partners in Learning UK Programme Manager • This session will show some of the software, tools and approaches from Microsoft that can be used to inspire learners into computing, with a particular focus on Kodu. • 10.30 and 14.00 in K102 • Managing data to produce information • Dr R.M.Kinmond & Mr E.D.Wilson Staffordshire University School of Computing • Ever wondered how a computer processes data into information? This session will help you understand the distinction between the two, & examine how a computer-based society impacts on daily life. You will see what computers can do with data to produce information and how computers can be used to work with data and search for it and support commercial operations.  In the news at the moment is the idea of BIG Data… what is it? How do companies manage it? • 10.30 and 11.45 in K103

  5. Workshops • Networking & Cyber Security • Chris Howard, Dr Touray and Dr Comerford – Staffordshire University • An insight into some practical ways to consider Cyber Security in a networked world with a hands-on exercise in password retrieval using a freeware packet analyser on industry grade equipment • How well are you prepared to deliver Computer Science? - a skills audit. • Paul Maddock – School of Education Staffordshire University • Conducting a self-audit to identify future CPD needs and opportunities • Managing the change from ICT to Computer Science – Curriculum Planning (OCR) • Mike Wills – OCR • This is an insight into the things teachers who have been teaching topics in ICT need to consider in order to deliver them in the new Computer Science curriculum. • 10.30 and 11.45 in K129 • The Web is Computer Science too! • Fiona Knight – School of Computing Staffordshire University • What Web Development is - so much more that the design view in Dreamweaver • 10.30 and 14:00 in K106

  6. Workshops • Using TouchDevelop • Rachael Trubshaw – Network of Excellence and Staffordshire University • This session will introduce the mobile app creator TouchDevelop. Developed by the Research in Software Engineering group at Microsoft Research, this session will show how to create a game and highlight its potential for introducing programming concepts in a simple and fun way. • 11.45 and 15.15 in K102 • Working with STEM Ambassadors in Computing - a development session • Tony Homer Staffordshire STEM Centre • Pi alive Raspberry Pi kit familiarisation • Jonathan Westlake – School of Computing Staffordshire University • This one hour session of the Raspberry Pi kit will include a hands-on session on how to connect the kit together and getting it up and running. The session also includes the top ten Linux commands to know and also a checklist and demonstration of other Pi equipment. • 10.30 and 14.00 in K130 • Python Programming • Nic Shulver – Staffordshire University School of Computing • There are Python programs doing everything from web application to GUI’s. This session will introduce the development of applications in Python. • 11.45 and 15.15 in K125

  7. Workshops • Games Development: Education to Industry • Dr Cathy French – Academic Group Leader, Software Engineering, Computer Games and Mobile System • This session will give you an overview of the educational tools available to get young people making their own games to spark their interest in programming, before exploring the different roles and skills the games industry is looking for. It will also aim to get you thinking about the journey young students will need to go on to succeed, and the importance of students laying their learning foundations before university. • 11.15 and 14.00 in LT2 • Careers in Computing • Ian Sunley - BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT - Chair Finance Committee,  Membership Board • Let’s get physical! Pi networking basics • Jonathan Westlake – School of Computing Staffordshire University • Explore three useful aspects of Pi. General Purpose Input Output (GPIO) using a simple traffic light OCR sheet; connecting a Pi to a laptop via a cross over cable and using SSH protocol. The Pi can then act as networked attached storage (NAS) and be used for exploring related networking topics at school. • 14.00 in K130 • Insights into teaching practical computing at level 3 • Paul Tanner and Paul Simmons – Newcastle-under-Lyme College • Newcastle-under-Lyme College has delivered the BTEC National Diploma in IT for many years and in this session they will share their experiences in teaching a variety of computer science topics, using the Raspberry Pi in teaching aspects of the computing curriculum and have a particular focus on suggested methods in delivery of networking in the classroom • 11.45 in K104
