The first half of the morning was a hit!🌟
@AlvaDyw delved into the world of augmented reality in the workplace, while the @Stirling_High students had an engaging chat about artificial intelligence.
Now it's time for a swap!
Keep up the awesome work👏

A carrier pigeon skeleton was discovered in the chimney of a house in Surrey along with a secret message.
The "Pigeon Service" message was found in a small red canister still attached to the pigeon's leg bone.
But it can never be solved...

"Edinburgh has over 11,200 open technology roles, up five-fold in a year, while Glasgow is catching up rapidly, with demand up seven-fold to over 10,100 roles."
Next generation of tech talent is in our schools. Yet not every Scottish school offers CS.
#SaveComputingScience
Demand for technology professionals has jumped more than seven-fold in Glasgow and more than five-fold in Edinburgh during the past year.
