What to EXPECT

"Computing: Probably the most exciting technology in the world!"

- Looking for inspiration to breathe more life into your lessons?

- Are you frustrated by current opportunities for teaching Computing within ICT?

- Do you struggle to find dynamic resources to engage your pupils?

- Do you wish to enhance your own skills to keep pace with your students who seem to 'know it all already'?

Then join us, for a unique opportunity to hear from practising teachers and educators about developing computing in our schools. One of the highlights will be the poster exhibition where teachers will share how they are introducing computing into their classrooms.

Come and share your ideas and experience! 

Local ARRANGEMENTS

What DOES IT COST?

It is expected that your employer will cover travel and/or accommodation expenses especially as we are making no charge for the conference itself.  However, if they are unwilling to do so you may apply for a bursary (generously provided by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT and Microsoft Research).  If you wish to apply for one of these bursaries please send a covering letter detailing anticipated costs on school headed paper (no email please) to Computing at School, 29 Wort's Causeway, Cambridge, CB1 8RJ to arrive no later then 4th May 2012
