Computer.lab News - Loreto Pupils Win Raspberry Pi's
Last term many of our pupils took part in Google’s ‘Hour of Code’ project where they did some introductory programming courses in and they have been rewarded by the gift of five free Raspberry Pi kits to be used in school.
We now have a computer club running in in school called Computer.lab where pupils can learn about how computers work as well as how to program them to perform tasks. The five new Raspberry Pi kits will be a welcome addition to the club’s growing hardware resources and soon the pupils will be using them to create programmable robot buggies which can move around the classroom avoiding obstacles and following lines.
In September 2014 Loreto pupils will be able to take a GCSE in Computer Science in which programming is a key element and the Raspberry Pi kits will be very useful for this course. Hopefully some of them will go on to do Computer Science at University and become the next generation of computer programmers, which is vital for our country’s economy and technological development.
