A-level school students (age 16-18, UK school years 12 and 13)
wanting a flavour of how Computer Science
differs from `school ICT', and from `programming' may find my slides
from a Sutton Trust
two-lecture summer-school course on `algorithms'
useful. (There is also an exercise sheet.)
Students interested in the idea of ``Computational Thinking'' should visit (Jeannette Wing's
articles and
YouTube video).
Also there is a half-hour set of slides intended for 14-year-olds (starting UK year 10) on Computer Science, Maths, Raspberry Pi given as part of the University of Sheffield Computer Science Cutlers' Ambassador Scheme.
