For Teachers

In this live lesson, learners will step into the shoes of a digital forensics consultancy who have been employed to find the source of a serious leak at Tobermory Telecom.

Was it a sophisticated cyber attack, a rogue insider, or just a mistake?

Students will learn about and use digital forensics techniques to analyse the evidence.

We have provided two times for this event and you can attend either one:

Join our data science team to create a data-driven piece of digital art about the person you know best: you.

In this workshop, you’ll get to code your own self-portrait using personal data. Your self portrait is unique to you, you will use data visualisation software to create an abstract drawing based on data you choose to share. You’ll also get to look behind the code to discover how it works – and see if you can decode data selfies of famous figures.

The workshop is suitable for learners from P7-S4. No previous experience of data science is required.

Join our live session where you’ll hear from Ed Mitchard, Co-Founder of Space Intelligence, a rapidly growing satellite data analytics company and find out more about the exciting careers in Space and what it’s like to work in this area.

At COP26, a major scientific conference hosted in Glasgow, the world will unite to tackle climate change. Countries will work together to make plans to reduce their carbon footprints to net-zero.

Take part in this interactive data science activity with your class and use real data to investigate how renewable energy could reduce your school’s carbon footprint. 

This event is perfect for all classes and would be a great fit for learners interested in geography, maths, physics, and computing science. 

Broadcasting from our energy HQ in Glasgow, the location of COP26, there is no better opportunity to learn about climate change in your classroom. During this interactive activity, we’ll use real data to: 

• Estimate YOUR school’s energy consumption
• Research the solar energy potential at YOUR school using a geographic information system from NASA
• Evaluate the impact a photovoltaic solar array on YOUR school’s rooftop would have on its carbon footprint 

We know that schools use a lot of electricity: consider how many lights, appliances and computers are in your school. Depending on how that electricity is generated, it could have a significant carbon footprint. 

Could generating some of that power locally using the sun have an impact? How much could be generated at YOUR school? Learners will get the answers to these questions at this event. 

The workshop is suitable for learners from P7-S4. No previous experience of data science is required. 

To take part: Teachers/parents will need access to YouTube, as the live lesson video will be streamed using a private link. Learners will need to use Google Chrome web browser 

What do you get when you cross an ancient medieval castle with cutting edge cyber security?  

Use cyber security skills to defend one of Scotland's most important historical sites - Stirling Castle. 

In this interactive lesson, learners are going to step into the shoes of a cyber security defence team to defend against a live cyber attack. They will learn about modern cyber security defences and their medieval parallels, only by working together will they be able to stop the attackers. 

No knowledge of long-swords required. This lesson is delivered in partnership with Historic Environment Scotland.

We have provided two times for this event and you can attend either one:
