It is estimated that 70% of organisations keep their worst security incidents quiet.

We've found a local volunteer to run a Code Club, and we're just waiting for their DBS check to come through. Now we need to arrange the sessions, which will probably be late-afternoon drop-in sessions for children over the summer holidays. Image provided by Stuart Miles We are also looking at running lunchtime learning sessions, where our online resource suppliers could come in a talk about their products . We've still got the ambition of running a regular Minecraft session, but have not started planning this, especially as we have so many other ideas about Digital Friday that we would like to fit into the programme.

British Science Week..end!

I t might be Friday but there’s still plenty of time to celebrate British Science Week, with events and activities planned across the country this weekend. Guildford has a proud history as a hub of science and technology, with the world-class Research Park hosting some incredible pioneering companies. These include the games company 22Cans started by Peter Molyneux - founder of Lionhead Studios, which went on to be bought by Microsoft and produce the popular Fable games. Surrey Satellite Technology , defence contractor BAE systems , industrial gasses supplier BOC and mobile developer Volantis are other examples of the great mix of scientific minds that call Guildford home. Check out the official British Science Week events map to see what’s on in your area, and use the hashtag #BSW17 to share the fun online! Above: British Science Week events being held nearby
