Understanding how technology shapes the modern world

As technology continues to evolve, computer science underpins the way businesses operate, economies grow and societies function. Computer Science trips give students the opportunity to see how computing and IT are used in the real world, helping them understand how classroom concepts translate into practical applications.

From exploring the foundations of computing at Bletchley Park, to engaging with modern tech hubs in London, Berlin, New York and San Francisco’s Silicon Valley, our trips expose students to the past, present and future of computer science. Programmes can also be timed to coincide with major gaming and technology events such as EGX, Gamescom, or technology expos, alongside opportunities to attend our LIVE! Student Conference Events at Disneyland® Paris, where industry experts bring key curriculum topics to life through real case studies.
