Courses :: Module, COMPUTER SCIENCE PROJECT

	Overview
	This module will introduce students to a number of computer science resources (e.g. Scratch programming, Microbit robots, HTML, mBot Ranger kits) and through these interactions the students will develop a project idea to work on, using such resources. This will encompass the first number of weeks of the module, at which stage the students will choose their preferred resource to use within their project. Students will form groups in which they will then undertake a large-scale project. The students will justify their project selection, and at each stage of its development incorporate planning and management skills to deliver a project. The students will be introduced to tools to aid in the design and development processes (e.g. storyboarding, wireframes). The students will deliver technical presentations around their work at key stages in the modules.

	Learning Outcomes
	On successful completion of the module, students should be able to: Work effectively with others to design, implement, develop, test and evaluate project ideas. Undertake project planning and team management tasks. Advance their knowledge in algorithms, programming languages and design processes. Plan, manage, present and communicate effectively in relation to their project outcomes. Manage their time effectively, as well as managing the resources available to them. Apply learned skills and experiences more effectively in future project work.
