2 ex-pupils who now work in JP Morgan, Kieran & Allan, kindly visited the higher computing students to explain the process of creating software for a global finance company. Their experience in the workplace was shared using real life examples of how the theory taught in the class is used in the company. An active fun element was added by using Lego to represent code and models built to represent applications. The process of getting the models built showed the pupils the difficulties coders have when trying to extract requirements specifications from clients in the real world. This was an inspiring event as Kieran and Allan spoke of how they have travelled the world with the company and they too once sat in the very same classroom as todays pupils.
