Be The Future of Tech Launch Event – 80 The Strand Trip

'On Friday 28th March 2025, the Computing Department took 4 Year 8 students to attend workshops at The Pearson Head Office at The Strand in London.   The workshops included speeches from motivational women in the Creative IT Industry together with pioneering guest speakers from IBM, TFL and Nationwide Building Society. The students took part in challenges to learn how to complete the core fundamentals of Application Design and were able to engage with state-of-the-art Meta Quest 3 VR Head-Sets.
