Year 5 were invited to the STEM Outreach centre at Kingston University. The class learnt about careers in STEM industries and discovered the skills needed while exploring hands-on activities and experiments. The pupils had a chance to engage in the roles of computer scientists and engineers for the morning. All pupils participated in different activities involving Lego Hoppers with Robotics and building digital castles through Cyber-security. Year 5 had a fantastic time full of fun, simulation and wonder!
The cybersecurity-castle metaphor is brilliant pedagogically—teaching network defense concepts through physical analogies makes abstract threat modeling tangible for 9-10 year olds before introducing actual firewall logic. time duration calculator
