S3 Computing Science – Discovering a Digital World Event

A number of S3 Computing Science Students from Cumbernauld Academy are being offered the opportunity to attend the “Discovering Digital World” roadshow series on Tuesday 26th April 2016 from 10 am to 1 pm. The number of spaces available has been limited to 30 and these will be offered on a first come, first served basis.  The roadshow will showcase the exciting possibilities of a career in digital technology through hands on workshops and more.

This won’t be a regular run-of-the-mill careers fair, it will be an opportunity for students to get hands on with workshops, masterclasses and engaging demonstrations testing out products and dabbling in coding, designing and developing. Students will meet a whole range of employers and find out routes in to the industry, including career choices and opportunities. Students will find out just how rewarding a career in digital and tech is, with job earnings regularly above the national average.

It is key that we involve parents and carers on the benefits and opportunities that a career in ICT and Digital Technology holds for their children and help break down some of the stereotypes that is associated with this area of study.

The links below will give a better idea of what will be taking place as well as information on Parent/Carer sessions offered during the evening of Tuesday 26th April 2016.
