It's that time of year again!

Spring is in the air, the daffodils are flowering and... the is back!

Code for Life is excited to announce we will be at the Bett show again this year. Come and have a chat about our products and meet the team at stand NH71 from March 23rd–25th. We would love to say hello. To help celebrate tech in education, this newsletter is all about digital literacy.

Computer scientists Vinton Cerf and Bob Kahn are credited with inventing the Internet communication protocols that we use today and the system referred to as the Internet. Though other protocols were developed and used before Cerf and Kahn's TCP/IP, such as the file transfer protocol (FTP) and network control protocol (NCP), the Internet as we know it today is built on their basis of a “network of networks.” Source: Source: https://www.britannica.com

Did you know?

75% of organisations around the world have experienced some kind of phishing attack and a cyberattack is attempted every 39 seconds! This is even more reason to be careful when you open your emails. source: graphic.ai

So how do we keep safe online?

What scams might we come across and how will we spot them?

Debugging exercises

Can you debug these pieces of code below? Take a look and see if you can spot the mistakes we have made.

Exercise 1

# This program outputs if the student has passed
# They must have at least 50 marks to pass
# Nothing is output if they fail

mark = input("Enter your mark")
if mark > 50:
    print("Pass")

Exercise 2

# This program calculates a pass or fail where you must have 
# at least 50 marks to pass

mark = int(input("Enter your mark"))
if mark > 50:
    result = Pass
if mark <= 50:
    result = Fail
print("result")

Solutions

mark = int(input("Enter your mark"))
if mark >= 50:
    print("Pass")
mark = int(input("Enter your mark"))
if mark >= 50:
    result = "Pass"
else: 
    result = "Fail"
print(result)
