Computing LIVE! Student Conference Event at Disneyland® Paris
Event Date: Monday 28th February 2022
Computing LIVE! is a fantastic opportunity to bring the curriculum to life and inspire your students future careers.
Our quality speakers are chosen based on their ability to meet the learning objectives of the Computing curriculums at KS4 and KS5. Your students can then take out their new found knowledge into the Disneyland® Paris Parks and apply in a practical and fun way.
The expert and live speaker presentations give your learners the opportunity to access people from high profile organisations who provide relevant examples and case studies for exams. Through their real-life experiences our speakers will give students the chance to hear how fundamental principles and concepts of computer science are applied in the real world to offer real solutions to everyday problems, as well as understanding the different directions a career in computing could take.
There will also be the opportunity for students to ask questions of the industry practitioners and learn about careers associated with the subject during the interactive question and answer sessions.
