News from Head of SchoolDIGIT On Sunday 12 June the School ran the Digit.interact() event at The Lowry, Salford Quays, as part of the Digitfest2011 Arts Festival. We took over Studio 3 and filled the room with interactive computer science exhibits, to excellent responses from all ages. The event was aimed at 16-25 year-olds and we met a number of A-level students who were interested in finding out more about the School, as well as younger people who had great fun with the exhibits. Involved were Andrew Robinson, Ben Blundell, Toby Howard, Alasdair Rawsthorne, and undergraduate Shaun Donnelly, who showed his 3rd year project. Short video at: www.vimeo.com/25107597.
