“Hosted by City of London School for Girls in the Museum of London building on London Wall, we aim to bring Year 10 girls together for a day of creative thinking, coding and program design.

Looking beyond the GCSE curriculum, session activities will include

  • CyberSecurity – Investigating encryption algorithms
  • Programming a Near Neighbour Recommendation System
  • Designing Embedded systems and considering coding elements required.

In addition, we will be joined by young women working as software engineers in the heart of the city for their insights into working in the sector and a Q&A session led by Y12 students studying A level CS.

During sessions, girls will collaborate in small groups (with a partner from their own school) on programming and design tasks.”

They ran this event last year too so possibly worth making a note for 2027.
