Computing focus week - Hampstead School - Thursday 2nd July

   

                              The big session - Computing productivity  

On a warm, and relaxed Thursday afternoon students and teachers combined formally in two sessions to help Mr. Salim and the ICT/Computing technical staff to build computers. Let me easily break it down for you. Of course, there were 2 main sessions held at the same time, during period 6.  A female computing workshop was held with Mr. Salim of course managing the session. The co-leaders were Ms. Daniels and Ms.Brown. The female students were only a minimal number of 7 girls. The program was put together to get the future woman to develop their ICT/ Computing skills if they decide to take it on as a passion and full course within their GCSE years. After putting together wire after wire, the girls had done it! Well done Ladies! Of course there had to be one flop, Ms. Daniels motherboard had burned out. Better luck next time! Both the teachers and young ladies were fantastic! Take a look at these images.

This was a enjoyable session indeed, the students were dedicated and driven by motivation. The girls worked with the excellent help and optimism from Kamal learnt to be resilient and self-reliant. The girls learnt skills such as Computer production and the components and units which put together the technology which is a such a massive part of their lives. 

Everyone worked together as a team and the teachers of course weren't far behind the students. Thursday was a special day indeed.

Mr Carruthers, Mr.Salim together with the sixth former team were a big help for the this activity. Building computers through out this week session has been a enjoyable one for the girls, as this session was designed to bring more female power into the world of Computing and ICT and this session may not have been big in numbers but the atmosphere was certainly one to be proud of. The teachers and students all collaborated and managed to create enough computers to replace everyone older version in room 304! Well done ladies.

The second session was just as spectacular as the first. A inspirational force came into Hampstead school on the 2nd of July. A former member of this school who know attends one of the best Universities in the countries. Amazing, isn't it? Iman Mirzaie , who has taken a course in computing has a session with a group of boys in the lower school and gave a brief outlining of the courses he studied and how he enjoyed. This session was also held to build inspiration for the future graduates and image of the school. Iman has continued to engage the students who take an interest in ICT/Computing through his short life at University by outlining his experiences.  What intrigued the students even more is the his benefit and personal gain through this complex experience. Iman and his colleagues have made a web application called www.Collusion.hub.

Iman has dedicated the session to how he has constructed his web application . Through simple explanation, he has done this after his course, and has described the life style and atmosphere of University as a whole. This session has helped these students to innovate their thinking for future experiences. A big well done once again.
