Computer Science at Cadbury World
On Friday 13th December, 45 computer science students from year 7 were selected to go on the Cadbury World educational trip for exceptional progress in computing and multimedia. The event gave an in-depth understanding into the 200-year history of our nation’s favourite chocolate brand.
Upon arrival, we appreciated an excellent talk in the lecture theatre on technology and how Cadbury copyright their ‘glass and a half of milk’ and royal purple packaging. We were also informed how Cadbury use social media and marketing tactics to ensure they are keeping up with the requirements of their customers. It was also very clear how significant the use of technology is within the company and during a tour of the manufacturing process, we were given a lovely chocolate cup with toppings of our choice, which was scrumptious.
There was also an inspiring story in the virtual museum of John Cadbury, who was a Quaker entrepreneur, who in 1824 had a tea dealer shop, as we travelled back in time. We also engaged in several breath-taking rides and went inside the hyper-realistic 4D cinema, which was very memorable.
In summary, it was an inspiring educational trip, and it couldn’t have been done without Mr King and all the computer science teachers.
