Presentation given to students as promo for launch of Computing A/S Level in school.
Speaker notes as follows:
1) I am here to talk about a new A Level being introduced by the ICT department in school - Computing
2) People think that Computing is for geeks
3) And Freaks
4) But is it more accurate to say that it is for High ability Maths students?
5) It involves: Problem solving
6) Logical thinking
7) And a mathematical model of deductive reasoning from axioms to logical consequences.
8) It gives good ‘direction’ on to many degree courses
9) But equally into jobs as well
10) So, maybe studying Computing can lead to access to the finer things…
11) In life.
12) So back to the question:
13) Is it for geeks…...
14) And freaks?
Or is Computing something you might want to study? If so then come and see me, email me (handout leaflets to those interested)
