It's Friday afternoon so it's Lego robotics time. Carefully designing, building, programming and testing...to fight each other apparently. And not making *too* much mess. @WestonbirtSch

A huge well done to all students taking part in #BEBRAS this year, particularly those receiving merits, distinctions and especially our many gold award winners; now invited to take part in the Oxford University Computing Challenge. 👏 @WestonbirtSch @bebrasuk @CompSciOxford

Lovely to hear such impressive knowledge from one of our Year 8s on how to build your own computer. Really nice for students to be able to inspire other students. Very interesting talk and so well delivered. @WestonbirtSch

Thank you @UnlockCyber and @immersivelabs for the engaging competition! We loved it here.

[ComputerScienceAtWestonbirt @AtWestonbirt]

At @WestonbirtSch our Year 8 teams are excited and ready to go for the @UnlockCyber competition. Good luck all Cyber pioneers!

Year 8 students beginning their cryptography topic, with a physical enactment of a substitution cipher, based on the Sherlock Holmes story 'The Adventure of the Dancing Men'. @WestonbirtSch

[ComputerScienceAtWestonbirt @AtWestonbirt]

Well done all six, and all students who took part. So many distinctions and merits this year! I can't wait to see what all you budding computer scientists can do next....

[ComputerScienceAtWestonbirt @AtWestonbirt]

Today I'm looking at new ways of teaching programming with pupils and experimenting with unicode characters. @WestonbirtSch, what animal do you think the unicode 'U+1F99A' displays?

[ComputerScienceAtWestonbirt @AtWestonbirt]

Well done all, but especially my extra lovely computer science students. Brilliant, well deserved results.

Really enjoyed the codebreaking Treasure Activity with GCSE computer science students today. A lovely, fun way to finish a great school year. Thank you so much @lollypopstar for sharing such a brilliant resource.
