An Introduction to Algorithms, Programming & Data in GCSE Computer Science (Part of the Computer Science Accelerator Programme)
- Session 1: Monday 28th September, 1600-1700
- Session 2: Tuesday 29th September, 1600-1700
- Session 3: Monday 5th October, 1600-1730
Venue: Remote-Delivered via Adobe Connect
Course Fee: Free to attend - this course is fully funded for teachers from state-funded schools
Course Details: Find out how algorithms are designed and how programs are written to provide clear instructions to machines. Learn about the binary system used by computers to store and process data, and how to convert to and from the familiar denary system of numbers zero to nine. Create some simple block-based computer programs and discover how to implement them using the Python programming language. Use your knowledge to write programs that can handle user input and manipulate variable values before outputting simple messages to the screen
