Please note that ONLY people who have previously registered with the Royal Institution (the Ri) can be admitted to this and the other sessions. If you are not on the register we can’t let you in. If you need to register with the Ri please ask your teacher to nominate you by emailing masterclasses@ri.ac.uk from their school email address.

The web address for this page is https://teachinglondoncomputing.org/rimasterclassesqmul/ but to save you typing all that we’ve made a shorter link: https://bit.ly/qmulrics (QMUL / Royal Institution / Computer Science – but in lower-case letters).

Every week we’ll update this page with new information (highlighted in yellow) about that week’s workshop.

§ Please check this page every week in case we have had to move to a different room or venue. §

Important bit to keep you safe!

If you are not able to attend a session please let me (Jo) know in advance that you’re not coming – it’s fine, you won’t be in any trouble. My contact details are in the info linked for each week. If you don’t I’ll assume you’re on your way and if you’ve not turned up by 10.15am I will need to check with your parent or guardian to make sure you’re OK, so please just let me know. Please don’t rely on telling your teacher if you can’t make a session as the message might not get to me in time, thank you.
