Session 6 - Error Detection and Correction
The purpose of session 6 is to introduce you to how computers detect errors in data and where the error occurs. It will introduce you to the idea of parity bits and parity check to determine if the data has been corrupted. This session requires the use of a pack of cards or cards with a colour on one side.

Session 6 - Social Networking Detective
In this activity children will start to understand why sharing information online is a huge risk. Children will also identify safe and unsafe features and behaviours on a social networking profile.
Session 6 - The intelligent piece of paper
The main objective of this session is to understand algorithms in the context of artificial intelligence.

Session A: Circuits Revision
Produced by the Hamilton Trust, these materials give children some some hands on experience and revision of what they already know about electricity and circuits through a circus of activities.
Can they complete and repair circuits? What dangers does electricity pose?
Session C: Circuit Repairs
Produced by the Hamilton Trust, these materials look at fixing faults in electric circuits. Children start the session with some drama before turning their attention to some circuits in need of attention.
Children repair broken circuits and identify repairs needed using circuit diagrams.
Session D: Circuit Investigations
This activity from Hamilton Trust, helps children investigate the properties of electric circuits. It provides a concept cartoon, which is a...
Session E: Series and Parallel
These materials, from the Hamilton Trust, challenge children to identify the differences between series and parallel circuits. They work in small groups to create circuits and switches.
Session Eight: Applying their Programming Knowledge to Play and Evaluate a Game Challenge
In this activity, children work in pairs to learn and set each other challenges using the Rapid Router software.
The challenges include the use of Loop, If and Repeat Until commands, asking children to consider how they can automate a process and create efficient code. The activities focus on driving a...
Session Eight: Assessment Session – Applying your Coding
In this, the final activity of a sequence of eight, children are asked to use their knowledge to create a challenge using Rapid Router, solvable using Python. It will ask their partner to use procedures, increment variables and apply different methods of control flow.
The resource includes an overview of...
