Exploring Careers in Technology with Altitude Foundation

This week, Academy 360 was pleased to welcome Colin and Glen from the Altitude Foundation, who delivered an engaging careers in technology assembly to our Year 7 and Year 9 students.

The session introduced pupils to the wide range of opportunities available in the tech sector, with a particular focus on the Coding Cooperative Club - a programme they lead across the region to support young people interested in digital careers.

Following the assembly, a group of Year 7 students had the chance to take part in a Game Design Taster Session, where they explored the fundamentals of coding and game creation. The session sparked enthusiasm and creativity, with some fantastic concepts being developed - highlighting the natural talent for coding already emerging in our school community.

Pupils interested in developing their skills further can join our Coding Club, which takes place every fortnight in the LRC from 2:30pm to 3:30pm. The next session will run this Monday, and all aspiring coders are welcome.
