Former Student Visits Computing Society

On Tuesday 5th March, the Computing Society welcomed ex-student Charles Lockie back to school after leaving TBSHS in 2018 to study Computing Science with Electronics at Bristol University.

The session was well attended by sixth form students, with a number of avid and eager Year 11 students also joining us.

Charles spoke about his current university studies, and the type of projects that he’s currently working on. He also spoke about the importance of Computer Science in the future, and how Electronics is key to how Computers are used and built. Charles also talked about his life at university, and the type of clubs and societies he’s currently joined, all of which were insightful into the life of a Computer Science university student.

The session ended with a Q&A, with students asking a range of questions from how useful TBSHS was for preparing Charles for university and student life, to his future career prospects as a Computer Science graduate.

The Computing Society thanks Charles for the enormous time and trouble he took to return back to school, and we wish him all the best for what we’re sure will be, a very bright future.
