Every year a person who has made a great contribution to the field of computer science are awarded the Turing Award. The Turing Award is often referred to as the computer science equivalent of the Nobel Prize. Turing's research is still widely used today! 3/3
In 1952 Turing was found guilty of being a homosexual, which was a crime in Britain at the time and was listed as a criminal until 2013 where he received a royal pardon. This lead to many more men who has also been found guilty to be pardoned by 2016. 2/3
1st day of #LGBTHM21 it's only natural that in Computing we celebrate Alan Turing! He made major contributions in mathematics, computer science, artificial intelligence and helped break the enigma code in WWII at Bletchley Park. 1/3
This week S2 are researching the self driving car and designing one. Emily did an amazing piece. Look forward to travelling in that car! Great work Emily!
Week 3 in our App Design project! S2s have not held back! Amazing user interface design with week. Keep it up S2! @forresterhs

S2s were asked this week to start thinking on an idea and logo for a new app. Ruby has created a fantastic idea for an app to help with fitness for people with physical and mental health difficulties. Awesome idea Ruby! #ComputingGoals #NiceToBeNice @forresterhs

S1s were tasks by Miss Stevenson to design a advert for a new PC. Mia in 1T2 created a beautiful advert for a PC that's cheap to help people who don't have one and working from home. It's also free for NHS staff! Ultimate #ThankYouThursday Mia!
S1s were given the task by Miss Stevenson to design an advert for a new PC. George and Ruby in 1T2 sent some amazing work! Keep it up guys!
Awesome piece of work from Bailey M in 2T1 for Miss Stevenson today! Some fantastic specs on that PC, tempted to get one myself!
How about some Algorithm Origami? All you need is some paper! Check these out and see if you can follow the step by step methods: teachyourkidscode.com/origam…
Fancy trying a challenge? How about the 100 day coding challenge? The idea is to code for at least an hour every day for the next 100 days. (Though even 30 minutes for 2 weeks is also a great start!) 100daysofcode.com/ #100DaysOfCode
