Hello and welcome to British Science Week
Day two.
I hope you enjoyed yesterday's videos looking at Digital Forensics,
and today we're focusing on Technology as its 'Technology Tuesday'!
We're going to be looking at Software and Programming,
and I'm Steph,
I'm an Applied Research apprentice at BT,
and I'm here with... I'm Ose and I'm also a Research apprentice at BT.
Today's first video is from BT, and it's about the fundamentals of programming.
You'll learn about the early pioneers of software and how the fundamentals that they've
created are relevant in today's world.
So today's activities are based on the fundamentals of programming,
it doesn't matter what background of programming you have,
you can start from anywhere with these activity packs that you can find down below.
So today's second video is from The Open University,
and they'll be taking a deeper dive at some of the software fundamentals that you've learned so far.
Looking at how they've not only impacted today's coding,
but how they'll actually impact the future of coding too. And if you're watching on the day of the release,
then make sure to scroll down and register for the Q&A.
But don't worry
if not,
because the recording will be below.
So I'm really excited to learn about the Software and Programming content from today.
Yeah,
and it's absolutely brilliant to see that even though I'm now four years into my apprenticeship,
how these programming fundamentals are still used.
I've worked in many different teams,
such as the 5G team, done some work with BT Sport.
But even in these complex areas,
the fundamentals really do come into what we do.
We're living in a digital revolution,
and that's why today's content is so important.
Because, as you see throughout the week,
the theme of software is heavily played throughout.
For example,
tomorrow we're looking at Digital Manufacturing.
A once labour-intensive industry now relies on software and automation.
So we hope you enjoy today's content and we'll see you tomorrow for day three.
