ECS were lucky enough to have Barton Peveril visit. The A-level students spent the day getting a tour of campus, learning about university life and getting to grips with Python. They used the Code Academy interpreter. This worked well as it helped them experiment with Python. We made number guessing game and a hangman game. It was perfect for beginners.
This was the first all male group I have had. I decided to take this group on as we were keen to make stronger links with Barton Peveril and I am working with them on another event to attract female students later on in the year (5th December). It worked well and I am pleased we did it as some of the students will be coming back to the university to give a seminar about Minecraft!
