There is a wide range of opportunities for students to get involved in STEM Societies at Borlase. Our current Year 12s run ComSoc every Wednesday at break time. All year groups are welcome to join in and listen to various interesting topics or new technologies that are currently happening around the world. We also have KS3 Lego and Coding Club for younger years. Every year there are a range of Computing-themed projects entered into the STEM fayre. We also have STEM dinner, where we give out awards to our hard working students and celebrate their contribution to the department and societies. We also do the Raspberry Pi foundation coding challenge such as UK Bebras for KS3 to 5 and also British Informatics Olympiad in A level.
The Computing department organised trip and visit in support of the curriculum. Trip include an A level trip to a Computer Science in Action conference. We usually take only Year 8 girls to anything that run by NCCE to inspire and encourage girls to take Computing at GCSE. We took KS4 to Bletchley park and National Computing Museum before Covid.
