Use real life data when teaching.... :) #worldcup #Scotland #Python

Giving our S3 classes a choice: The @dresscodehq.bsky.social Cyber Advent or a crazy Python selection statement challenge... Both equally fun, frustrating and challenging 🤣😎

You teach them loops one time and they try to crash the computer 🤣

And we are off! 14 teams in this year's @cyberfirstscot.bsky.social Girls competition! @ibmp-cnrs.bsky.social

See the Computing and Business Classrooms for the link! :)

Ms McAlpine will be coming round to start the chat with the S2 Girls so watch out and start thinking of teams!

Anyone in the #Stirling area. We are looking to get about 5/6 laptops for our Advanced Higher to use. They need to be working but can be basic.

Do you have an old one you would be willing to part with?
