KS3 Careers in Computer Science PowerPoint Research Activity

A research activity where students choose a career from those provided and research aspects of the role from salary to a typical working day.

Depending on the amount of teaching of PowerPoint skills, this activity will take students a minimum of 40 minutes and can last a complete lesson with the addition of a starter/plenary.

Students complete a PowerPoint template with both images and text with the aim of being as creative as possible.

You can combine the teaching of specific PowerPoint skills with imparting an awareness of the wide range of roles available to those choosing Computer Science as a GCSE option.

The resource includes:

• A PowerPoint containing instructions for teachers and students and two possible collections of job descriptions related to Computer Science.
  Also included are images of actual student work from my own classes.
• A PowerPoint template that students complete for their chosen role

Used successfully with Y7, 8 and 9 students.

I have also used great work from students for open evening and classroom displays.

Please leave feedback if you download and use any of my resources.
