Season's Greetings to @astro_Pettit and the crew of the International @Space_Station from us Earthbound computer scientists and teachers. Check out this beautiful photograph taken last week!

In space, you can see stars! I flew a home-made tracking device that allows time exposures required to photograph star fields. Stay tuned for more photos like this.

Our senior Computer Scientists had a brilliant day @tnmoc last week, many thanks to Sheridan and the team. From Colossus to W.I.T.C.H & beyond we returned inspired. Highlights incl. the Bombe replica in operation, decoding messages & of course @paddingtonbear's @AcornArchimedes.

It's the most wonderful time of the year here @rochesterindcol with snow and sparkles courtesy of the @RICCompSci students. #thinkingaboutcoding #programmingsnowflakes

#HappyHalloween from @RICCompSci - two years ago we started preparing! Site now impervious to vampire attack thanks to our maintenance crew.

Freshly sharpened stakes. Routine maintenance @rochesterindcol to protect students and staff from mishaps of this or the other-worldly kind. Happy Halloween. The devil's in the detail!

..and many thanks to all of our supporters too, parents, carers, guardians, @rochesterindcol and our boarding and pastoral teams who have done so much. Thanks also to our fab resource providers @IsaacCompSci @pgonlinepub @csuk_student

Let the Advanced Level Comp Sci begin! Good luck to our class of 2024. You've got this.

It's Friday so it must be #computersciencebingo for @RICCompSci students. There may be prizes.

Here @rochesterindcol @RICCompSci celebrates the contributions of a world of women. In lessons today we will look at the work of: Spärck-Jones, King, Buolamwini, Wilson, Hamilton, Hopper, Johnson and Shirley - some of the notable women everyone should know about.

@riccompsci says: Happy International Women's Day 2024 for tomorrow. The @bcs @Cambridge_Uni alumnus & Female icon #1: Karen Spärck Jones - inventor of Inverse Document Frequency algorithm. An essential search engine algorithm. “Computing is too important to be left to men.”

Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus. As celebrate St David's day we also remember Computer Scientist Donald Davies CBE FRS whose work in 1965 inspired US engineer Paul Baran to implement packet switching, a fundamental technology of the Internet as we know it.

Best article title of the week goes to @TheRegister with "40 years since Elite became the most fun you could have with 22 kilobytes". Gearing up our @acornproton BBC Micro B just for that reason!! Happy 40th Elite. Go deeper with bbcelite.com theregister.com/2024/01/18/eli…


Here @RICCompSci @rochesterindcol we celebrate #LGBTQHistory by looking into the history of our discipline. This week we learn about 3 people who changed lives through the power of computing: Edie Windsor, Alan Turing and Christopher Strachey. #ComputerScientistsYouShouldKnow
