4th Annual #ArkHack
On Wednesday we hosted the annual Ark Hack event. This started as a Bolingbroke event and is now Ark-wide. We had over 200 pupils and staff from different Ark Schools. Teams are tasked with creating a design and pitch for an application which can improve their schools approach to solving the climate crisis. The event is sponsored by Marshall Wace allowing us to provide goody bags and Computer Science based gifts to all pupils. Graduate trainees from Marshall Wace also attend and judge the pitches in a Dragons Den style.
The final results were as follows:
- Isaac Newton Academy
- Ark Globe
- Bolingbroke Academy
We were delighted to have placed third in the event. Teams are also judged on their presentation style and teamwork as well as their final idea. The event is open to Computer Science students in Year 10 to attend. We’re looking forward to next year already!
