Developed by the National Centre for Computing Education, this collection contains quality-assured question banks which can be used with key stage 3 computing and GCSE computer science students. The collection includes a series of 10 topics, covering areas across the computing curriculum. Each topic area includes...

This collection offers a selection of videos and career profiles to highlight the breath of STEM careers available. Some of the resources include experiments and classroom activities linked to the career theme, such as the Brian Cox school experiment...

Suitable resources for both primary and secondary aged pupils are listed here with those suitable for secondary resources being listed at the top. Some of the resources, like 'Code and Rescue' cover a series of possible lessons to look at code and programming whilst others like 'Programming languages - Harold the...

In 2015-16, the regional Network has been found to have sustained a strong upward trajectory in the amount of CPD that it is delivering, increasing its level of CPD delivery by 45% compared to 2014-15, and surpassing the levels of CPD delivery achieved in previous years.  

The Network has also forged new...

This Challenge Pack, from the British Science Association, aims to give students aged 11-16 and their teachers and educators support to create a science, technology, engineering or maths (STEM) project that they can enter into the National Science + Engineering Competition.

Through creating a project, young...

How can we capture the unpredictable evolutionary and emergent properties of nature in software? How can understanding the mathematical principles behind our physical world help us to create digital worlds?

This book focuses on a range of programming strategies and techniques behind computer simulations of...

Neon careers resources are a comprehensive resource collection for everything engineering. The primary and secondary resources introduce students to future STEM careers, helping young people to understand more about the world of engineering...

The first video examines the topology of modern networks – how the computers are arranged and connected together.  The history of network topologies is outlined briefly, before considering star networks in more detail.  The need for, and the advantages of a central switch, together with the concept of mesh and...

A short unplugged activity. This uses string and various other props to enable students to simulate the various network topologies required for GCSE Computing. The activities lead naturally into discussions around protocols, data collisions and reliability. A large open area may be required depending on the size...

This series of five one-hour lessons covers computer networks at secondary-school level. The objectives of the lessons are:

• Describe what a network is, the difference between a LAN and a WAN and identify three network topologies.
• Describe pieces of hardware that are needed in a network.
