A-level Teachers Workshop in Electronics, Computing and Physics

This registration page is for A-level Computer Science teachers only. Registration for Physics teachers is available at 2018physics.eventbrite.com

This free-of charge (refundable deposit required), exciting and innovative event, hosted in our world-leading Undergraduate teaching labs, is centred around subject-based activities including hands-on classroom programming activities using the Raspberry Pi, and a hardware exercise teaching boolean algebra and digital logic parts of the syllabus with our new ‘Logic & Arithmetic‘ circuit board. Attendees will be provided with a free classroom set of Logic & Arithmetic boards, valued at over £500

The programme is also expected to include:

• Opportunities to network and share best practice.
• A welcome lecture on applications of STEM in a University research environment.
• An interactive session on improving diversity in STEM.
• An insight into University admissions “from our point of view”.
• Tours of our world-class research facilities, including our £100m nanofabrication centre.
  

More information on the draft content of the event can be found on the Activity Details page.

The event programme will run from approximately 10am on Monday 16 July until 3.30pm on Tuesday 17 July. There will be a meal on the Monday night (optional). Residential attendees will be provided with accommodation on the Monday night. Joining instructions and the detailed workshop schedule will be directly communicated to registered attendees in due course.

The event is only open to UK attendees teaching A-level Physics or Computer Science, and where school staff did not attend the 2017 Teachers Workshop for that subject (please our Eligibility page for the full list). We must limit attendance to one attendee per school per subject (i.e. up to one teacher of Physics and one teacher of Computer Science).

Please note that on-campus parking is very limited (except for blue badge holders). Parking is likely to be provided at a nearby University site (10-15 minute walk, or a short bus journey).

Equipment issued to attendees is provided by UK Electronics Skills Foundation and other partner organisations. As a condition of issue, we are required to share basic contact details with them (i.e. name, school, email address). This will be used solely for the purposes of tracking usage of equipment and will not be used for marketing.
