Vectors and Forces
This workshop introduces you to some of the basic principles and tools for simulating motion.
Modelling using Cellular Automata
In this workshop, we will look at how Cellular Automata can be used in simulation and model the spread of a disease.
Computational Snowflakes
In this festive workshop we will explore object orientated programming by creating snowflakes.
Text Generation with Markov Chains
Use Markov chains to create original text e.g. song lyrics.
Flocking
In this workshop we will create a particle system that follows 3 simple rules to behave like a flock.
Make Your Own Pet Bug
Explore how simulation techniques can be used to understand how micro-organisms survive in the natural environment.
Particle Systems
In this workshop we will explore the basic principles and tools for simulating the motion of lots of particles at the same time, and how this can be used to simulate natural phenomena.
Prompt Engineering for Educators
Learn how to write effective prompts to support your teaching practice, such as preparing lessons and activities.
This activity takes about one hour.

Cybersecurity for Educators & Learners
This lecture is for schoolteachers and has two objectives.
The first one is to provide ideas for educators to integrate cybersecurity concepts in their subjects.
The second one is to provide resources for pupils to learn about cybersecurity and practice their skills in a safe environment.
Note that it can be given to KS5 pupils. Please email khalil.challita@warwick.ac.uk for further details. This activity is about an hour in length.
