What
This free online course is the second in a series of courses which has been created to highlight the varied roles and jobs that exist and involve technology in the workplace. The course is aimed at students who have not yet made their GCSE choices, so that they get the opportunity to see how studying computer science could potentially enhance their future career paths and to counter the stereotype that this subject only leads to jobs in programming and coding. Each course will run over two half-day afternoon structured sessions where the content will be delivered in our usual fun and interesting way.
