The School of Science hosts several engagement workshops over the school holidays. The workshops provide an opportunity for high school students to engage in STEM activities with likeminded peers and foster a passion for areas such as cyber security, coding, and intelligence.
We are excited to open our doors to eager high school students who would like to join us for fun, yet challenging days of computing, investigating, coding, and collaborating. The diverse and dynamic nature of these workshops ensures there is something for high school students of all levels to enjoy.
Is your high schooler a complete beginner with an interest in learning to code? Come join us for the ‘Making Code, Making Things’ workshop. This is designed for students with little knowledge in the area who would like to explore creating simple actions and games using buttons, LEDs, radios, and accelerometers.
Maybe your high schooler already has some experience in cyber security. If so, we offer the ‘Cyber Security Forensics for High School Aged Students’ workshop. This workshop will offer students the opportunity to use open-source tools to manipulate data and recognise protocols. They will explore plain text strings, binary, file formats, metadata and more!
If coding robots and building websites isn’t really their thing, then come along to the ‘Secrets and Spies Security and Intelligence’ workshop! This will be a day of investigations, analysing and scrutinising information. Students will have a chance to use the right tools and strengthen their skills for intelligence.
