Programming Club
In November 2008, the Programming Club was launched, with the intention of learning and exploring new and different programming languages. We meet every Thursday, after school, in Room 45. It is run by Mrs Alderton.
This year, we have started to learn how to program in Java. We are doing it through a project set up by Kent University and Sun Microsystems, called Greenfoot www.greenfoot.org. Greenfoot is an interactive object world that aims to teach the abstract concepts of object orientated programming through a very visual environment. |
As well as programming, we have also attended one of the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures. The theme this year was computing. The lecture we saw was about how software operates within a computer. The lecturer was Microsoft's most senior research scientist in the UK, Professor Chris Bishop. During the lecture, we also had a live video link with Bill Gates.
