On Thursday 4th June, Digital Leaders from across the Dawlish Learning Partnership joined together at Dawlish Community College to showcase the exciting technological projects they have been working on back in their schools.
Children from Exminster, Kenton, Cockwood, and Westcliff Primary Schools along with students from Dawlish Community College took part. The evening began with a talk from guest speaker, Jacob Tomlinson who is the Senior System Administrator at the Met Office in Exeter. An ex student of DCC, Jacob explained how computing impacts on everything we do in life, including forecasting the weather.
Year 7 Digital Leaders from DCC then gave a presentation on some of the projects they have been involved in since joining the school, including Adobe Photoshop, then two Year 10 students gave an overview of the Computer Studies GCSE.
The floor then opened to the primary schools who were able to showcase their work to all the parents who attended the evening.
- Exminster – Isle of Tune
- Westcliff – Live Radio
- Cockwood – K’Nex
- Kenton – Bee-Bot and Human Crane
Jacob Tomlinson was given the very difficult task of choosing a school to present a prize to. All the schools were highly commended, but Westcliff’s Digital Leaders were chosen to be awarded a Raspberry Pi, a small computer that can be used to learn programming through fun, practical projects, due to their passionate presentation style.
All the Digital Leaders who attended the event were presented with a certificate and a fun and informative evening was had by all.
