Little big futures Computing

Programme code runs on individual devices and as cloud applications, with data sent to and from machines and humans alike. These introductory activities explore the design of algorithms that span the internet of things, and consider the hardware components that comprise it.

Single-lesson one-hour activities, as well as more extended five-hour activities, are available. No previous programming experience is required, and no equipment is necessary – although students may wish to extend their investigations through tinkering or prototyping using low-cost computing devices. 

Students can use the 5 hour problem solving challenge to works towards a CREST Discovery award, funded by Cisco.
