Summary

Students taking part in activities relating to Computing in Schools may obtain academic credit for them. Students taking part in approved activities, such as running code clubs in schools, organising school computing activity days, or becoming active STEM ambassadors may receive academic credit for demonstrating they have actively contributed. Students will have undertaken an agreed number of hours on the activities, identified personal goals and targets in relation to these activities and maintained a reflective portfolio as a record of evidence of their competence and achievements. Students will only be able to register for this module with the approval of the convenor/School, once the material for assessment has been discussed.
