Several of our Year 8 girls visited Cardiff University for the day to take part in the National Final of the Girls CyberFirst Competition 2023, alongside many other schools from Wales.
The event was held at the University's School of Computer Science and Informatics and gave the girls a chance to show off their problem solving ability and computer science knowledge.
The content for each category of the competition is consistent with subjects within the Computer Science syllabus from both the National Curriculum and Scotland’s Curriculum for Excellence. However, the competition contains some advanced cyber topics that are not covered in traditional education but will seek to stretch the lateral thinking and additional cyber knowledge of the teams.
