It's always worth taking a bit of extra time to share our gratitude for this amazing team.

Y5 Computing Careers Week is well under way! We’ve had a visit from a garden designer, who taught us about how she uses CAD to plan the gardens, a virtual tour of the Amazon Fulfilment Centre and a talk with banking professionals. Tomorrow is technology in Music. If you can’t see it, you can’t be it

Today Y5 learned why it is important to have diverse people working in Computing.We discussed “Bias”& how the data sets that are used to train AI could be unfair.
We found out about Dr Joy Buolamwini & her work.
We used machine Learning for Kids to train our computer. 💡 moments all around! Awesome!
