Girls and Gadgets Conference

A small group of more able and talented girls visited the University of Teesside for the Girls and Gadgets Conference.  They were able to meet current university students who had various interests such as animation, concept design and programming.  They were able to see work produced by these students and were able to hear about the industry experience that they girls has gained such as during her placement at 'Disney' where she had been involved in creating characters for a game which is now on sale in large retail stores!

 

The girls were involved in a workshop on the afternoon and learnt to program using JavaScript, our students finished this task much quicker than those from other schools and were a credit to St John's.

 

Well done girls!!
