Description:
This series of live lessons and assemblies aims to broaden pupils’ understanding of the diverse range of careers within the technology sector, moving beyond a sole focus on coding to explore roles in areas such as design, data, space, cybersecurity, engineering, and digital media.
Through engaging and interactive sessions, pupils will be encouraged to make meaningful connections between their own hobbies, interests, and passions and potential future pathways in technology. The programme highlights how skills developed across the curriculum, such as problem solving in maths, creativity in art, communication in English, and analytical thinking in science, are all relevant and transferable to careers in tech.
