AIWeek: Pupil's got an insight into Diffusion Models and generated some fantastic images using comfyui as part of a workshop. @DeanCloseSchool #DeanCloseAcademics #DeanCloseCyber #CyberFirstSchools

William Allan (OD) talked to the 6th from about Generative AI models. He discussed the disruptive nature of AI and impact this may have on their future careers. Explore his cutting edge work at: fivebelowfive.uk #DeanCloseAcademics #DeanCloseCyber #CyberFirstSchools

AIweek: 4th Form pupils were investigating the difference between Rule-based (using Tic-Tac-Toe) and Data-based (playing Pictionary) approaches to solving problems using AI. @DeanCloseSchool #CyberFirstSchools #DeanCloseAcademics

I'm looking forward to some exciting events next week. Talks on Generative AI & careers from Old Decanians, staff and student workshops, house competitions and much more...#DeanCloseSenior #CyberFirstSchools #DeanCloseFuture

Pupils from DCPS and DCS celebrated Ada Lovelace day by using Arduino microcontrollers to solve problems with space travel! @DeanCloseSchool #DeanCloseFlourishing #CyberFirstSchools #adalovelaceday #IBelongCS

We’re delighted to have completed the I Belong programme from the National Centre for Computing Education, recognising the outstanding provision we now have in place to improve gender balance in computer science across our school. #IBelongCS #CyberFirstSchools @DeanCloseSchool

Well done to DCS pupils who finished close runners-up in yesterdays DataFace showcase event. They created a visualisation to demonstrate the impact of rising water levels across the planet. @DeanCloseSchool #DeanCloseAcademics #CyberFirstSchools #dataface @cheltfestivals

A huge thank you to Rory from Wolfram who engaged pupils in the fourth & remove with workshops using WOLFRAM CLOUD, and talked to members of the fifth form & lower sixth about pathways into Computer Science yesterday. @DeanCloseSchool #CyberFirstSchools #DeanCloseAcademics

The DCPS robotics club were getting into the spirit of Comic relief this week, I’m not sure ohbot can match this level of expression! #ComicRelief #DeanCloseFun #DeanCloseActivities

Pupils participated in the Oxford University Coding Challenge this week, they had to program solutions to a series of computational thinking problems. Well done to all who took part! #OUCC #cyberfirstschools #DistinctlyDeanClose #DeanCloseFlourishing #DeanCloseAcademics

We've loved seeing so many of you taking part in the #GCHQChristmasChallenge today. It's not too late to take part in our trickiest festive challenge yet! It's okay to ask for help, and work as a team ⬇️

Good luck to the 4th form computing pupils, putting their minds to the task of cracking puzzles to uncover the hidden festive message in the GCHQ Christmas challenge! #GCHQChristmasChallenge #DistinctlyDeanClose #DeanCloseFlourishing #DeanCloseAcademics #CyberFirstSchools

Well done to everyone who participated in the 2023 Bebras Computational thinking competition. A special congratulations to the 9 Pupils who gained the GOLD award by finishing in the top 10% nationally! (408,339 participants) @DeanCloseSchool @bebrasUK #CyberFirstSchools

A group of girls from Dean Close Prep and the Senior School are celebrating Ada Lovelace day with Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, along with other schools across the country. #CyberFirstSchools #DeanCloseCyber @DeanCloseSchool @STFC_Matters #adalovelaceday

This year’s CyberCenturion competition has got off to a great start! Pupils across all years teamed up in a race against the clock to secure their computer systems and solve cryptographic puzzles #CyberCenturion @STEMLearningUK #CyberFirstSchools #DeanCloseCyber @DeanCloseSchool

Congratulations to our pupils who recently received their certificates from the Chartered Institute of Information Security after completing the CyberEPQ qualification last year. @CIISecHQ @DeanCloseSchool #DeanCloseCyber #CyberEPQ

Don’t you just hate it when you’re on a mission to Mars and a solar flare takes out your computer systems!? Pupils had to save the mission by re-designing and building the ships systems as well as land a rover on the surface of Mars. #CyberFirstSchools @DeanCloseSchool

It was great to be at the DataFace - ‘bringing data to life’ launch event yesterday. I’m excited to be continuing our journey with Cheltenham festivals and inspiring the next generation with Data Science. @DeanCloseSchool @cheltfestivals #CyberFirstSchools

Pupils have been developing hand eye coordination while soldering components in drone club this week… …They make mistakes, but keep 'soldering' on! @Airgineers @DeanCloseSchool

Dean Close pupils are going 'Bananas' over Robotics! Just listen to how this unique baton has been used to conduct a classical music performance. @DeanCloseSchool #DeanCloseCyber #CyberFirstSchools
