Today we welcomed all of the children from Otterburn First School for enrichment work with us for the morning. Reception and key stage one children did a session on unplugged computing and a practical music workshop. We looked at a video of a robot programmed to change it's face to react to tone of voice and thought about how you programme a face. We then programmed giant faces to be happy, sad and surprised. The creative children then came up with other expressions - including the robot sticking it's tongue out and looking angry.
Years 3 and 4 did work in our science lab and got to use some of the specialised equipment before also doing a computing unplugged session on networks. The theme of the work was how computers and people are different and also how they are similar. We created a 'brain in a bag' using a neural network to play snap. We then raced our brain network against other types of network. The OFS children had some great ideas and were a real pleasure to work with.
