@sjfchs students are in Newcastle today at the @DigSchoolhouse esports tournament. Not only are we enjoying the atmosphere of the squad's first live tournament, but we're also getting involved in shoutcasting too. It's not just playing games you know!

Insane stats around AI uptake from @LeonMcquade. 2 months for @ChatGPTapp to get to 100 million users. That's just bonkers! I have a feeling next year's @CyberSwitchUp challenges will have plenty of AI involved!
Another great talk at @CyberSwitchUp giving great insights from @YorkshireWater as to why they need cyber specialists - and who's hacking them and why!
Great first keynote at @CyberSwitchUp Hull from @awscloud telling teachers and students about the growth in cybersecurity and how to build a good technical and soft skill set to enable you to get into the sector.
A proud day for Digital Schoolhouse as our Programme Director, Shahneila Saeed was invited by officials at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport to the Department for Education to discuss our call for a Digital Creativity GCSE.
We believe the creative industries need a qualification that combines pupils' brilliant creativity with today's digital tools.

Awesome day today at the @DigSchoolhouse#DSHesports grand final. GGWP to all squads, casters and production teams making it so bloomin' epic. Non-biased (honest 😉) congrats to our very own superstar Dax, who picked up two trophies for casting and journalism. You smashed it!
In high demand, as always, Dax is taking a break from shoutcasting duties for the @DigSchoolhouse#DSHesports tournament to take on media duties. Ably supported by the amazing folk at @PLAION_UK. Also, getting to grips with the amazing Atari 400 mini. I'm not jealous. Honest.
