Today we had 52 pupils attend DXC Technology for the latest Digital Futures Academy session.

The focus was on building essential personal skills, and what better way to do that than with an engaging Murder Mystery experience?

Huge thanks to Julie Greer and Kenny Morrison from West College Scotland for leading such a fantastic session!

The pupils worked together to crack a thrilling case, honing teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and analytical thinking. They even got a glimpse into the cutting-edge technology used in forensic and crime investigations. 

Thank you to Michelle Muirhead and the amazing team at DXC for organizing another memorable session.

This month, Barclays hosted their "B in Tech" event at their Glasgow campus, welcoming around 90 pupils from East Renfrewshire schools.
The aim was to inspire students to consider Computer Science as a National 4 or 5 subject and explore future careers in technology.

Students enjoyed a series of engaging activities, including myth-busting quizzes to challenge common misconceptions about tech careers, a hands-on Microcoding session to demonstrate the accessibility of coding at home, and a Sphero Mini Golf coding activity where they navigated a mini golf course using code written on their phones.

The event offered a fun, practical insight into the possibilities of a future in tech.

A massive thank you to everyone at Barclays who made this day such a success!
