Zero preparation for the teacher!
From Steve Jobs to Tim Berners-Lee there are many famous computer scientists. But how many do your students know?
Students respond to open-ended questions in this nicely presented resource.
Two suggestions for delivery:
1. Give all of the students the same computer scientist. Maximum 10 minutes for each. Who can go through the set fastest?
2. Give different groups different computer scientists. Then present.

VE Day Assembly / Lesson Presentation
VE Day presentation with a wealth of information about the day celebrated on the 8th May.
Linked to British values and involves both a historical look at this important event, and how students should think of this in the context of British values.
There are some links to YouTube videos within the 18 slide presentation. I would recommend that you check these first as sometimes videos can change or become unavailable over time (the videos are not linked straight within the presentation, so if you choose not to use the videos that will work fine).

The PowerPoint presentation contains 18 slides.
There are a selection of accompanying worksheets

Dijkstra's Algorithm for Computer Science
Dijkstra’s Algorithm
The way I would run this is to talk through the motivation for the algorithm from the presentation, and give the terminology worksheet to be filled in (answer in the presentation). We’d then work through the brute force worksheet. I might then run through the example, then give them the simple graph to fill in. Than we would work through TaskGraph1 for the graphs. Then I might get them to either code, or come up with graphs for them to solve in small groups or in pairs.
Included:
TPT presentation
Labels to fill in worksheets to give structure for the students to fill in answers
TaskGraph1 3 graphs to run Dijkstras on.
AnswerGraph1 and 2 -answers for the graphs
Brute force worksheet and brute force worksheet answers
