University of Northampton - teaching and researching Blockchain recognition

Taken from: University of Northampton recognised for being one of a handful of institutions teaching and researching Blockchain



The University of Northampton has been recognised as one of only a handful of Higher Education (HE) institutions worldwide which are teaching or carrying out Blockchain research.
Blockchain is a shared, replicated ledger that underpins technology such as cryptocurrency, but also sets out to provide the foundation for the next generation of transactional applications.
Blockchain analyst website Diar has included the University of Northampton in a list of just 28 HE providers that teach aspects of Blockchain and/or conduct research into it.
Northampton does both.
Postgraduate students on the MSc Computing course are taught elements of Blockchain, including a general introduction to the basic concepts, plus coding and programming techniques.
Meanwhile, various Northampton academics, led by Senior Lecturer in Education, Dr Cristina Devecchi,  have collaborated on a Blockchain project to help Syrian refugee children which has been promoted by the United Nations.
Dr Scott Turner, who teaches Blockchain on the MSc Computing course, has also delivered a talk with colleague Ali Al-Sherbaz about the subject to the British Computing Society.
The University’s Vice Chancellor, Professor Nick Petford, said: “It is good to see the work of the University of Northampton recognised as contributing to the academic and practical development of Blockchain.
“The technology offers a new way of looking at old problems with great potential to innovate across a wide range of our research activities from education and humanitarian aid to supply chain management.”

Nuffield Foundation Placement students playing with robots

This year the Computing team has been fortunate enough to host three Nuffield Research Placement students (https://www.nuffieldresearchplacements.org/) all working with Dr Scott Turner.
Michael Welsh
Michael is working on using a micro:bit based bitbot from 4tronix to produce a tool showing an example of artificial neurons used control a robot. The aim is for this tool to be used with 3rd year Undergraduates as part of a module on Artificial Intelligence.


Hiren Mistry
Using a Raspberry Pi based robot controlled produced by CBiS Education in several ways. Including via a PS3 controller (see  http://robotschools.blogspot.co.uk/2017/08/nuffield-student-work-ps3-controller-to.html for more details) and via Minecraft. This forms part of the Santander UK funded project Robots in Schools see the following for more details on this project https://robotschools.blogspot.co.uk/ .



Nathaniel Roberts
Junkbots has been a long standing project within this subject team (see the following for more details https://junkbots.blogspot.co.uk/ ). Nathaniel is looking at producing a new junkbot based around the Redfern Crumble controller and document it so it can be used in schools and outreach events.

BCS event - Advanced Penetration Testing Bootcamp

BCS Northampton Branch & University of Northampton
BCS Young Professionals Information Security Group
present
Advanced Penetration Testing Bootcamp (201)


Do you think you have the skills to work as a white hat hacker? Does the idea of penetration testing applications and infrastructure and learning the techniques for breaking into systems seem to be your ideal career?

If you are a student in IT or you have experience as IT or Security professional, and maybe already know the difference between Nmap, MetaSploit and Burp, then this could be the event for you!

Date:
Saturday 22nd April 2017
Time:
Registration, Setup, Introductions - 09:00
Event Start 10:00 - End 17:00 approx.
Venue:
University of Northampton
http://bit.ly/2oAP0ha
Sign-up:
https://events.bcs.org/book/2538/

A one day advanced penetration testing bootcamp, starting with how to develop a career in penetration testing, reviewing the methodology involved and getting close up with the tools used by professional ethical hackers. The event has hands-on sessions with theory and labs.

Please note this opportunity is only open to a maximum of 40 attendees early booking is advised.
Since this course is advanced due to the technical topics and tools covered, to leverage full value and be able to keep up with the pace during the day,  strongly recommend and invite those who have previous experience within IT Security, ethical hacking and/or have prior experience of working with Linux, web applications, databases, and network protocols to register early.

How to be an Unplugged Artist

A recently released book Teaching Computing Unplugged in Primary Schools  edited by Helen Caldwell (University of Northampton) and Neil Smith (Open University) has a number of interesting chapters by authors who are passionate about how computing is taught in schools. The central theme is unplugged activities, without using computers, but still teach the fundamental of computational thinking.

 Ok, confession time. I co-wrote, along with Katharine Childs (Code Club), Chapter 3 Artists so I am biased here, but I believe in the central theme of Unplugged Computing. Computing, and Computational Thinking in general,  is not just about programming and using a computer (though using computers and  programming are vitally important to Computing) but it is also about many other things including problem-solving, being creative and working collaboratively.

 Chapter 3 is about linking these computational thinking ideas to produce visual art, by applying computing principles including  repetition, following and refining algorithms, and abstraction. The chapter also looks, how these links have already being made, with examples such Sol Le Witt where not all the work that was produced by the artist himself, but some by others following his written instructions - in other words an algorithm. There is even a game Thomas's Tangles

 The other chapters make links with areas such as Robots, Musicians, Explorers, Magicians, Gamers, Cooks and Scientists.
