Live Action Text Adventure

Dan Bard

with Dan Bard

Remember those old text adventures from the early days of the internet... well let's throw out the green terminal and limited command set as we dive into a world of adventure where 'I'm sorry I don't understand that command' will never be uttered! Join us for a text adventure turned interactive group experience where the story is controlled entirely by you. Try not to be eaten by a Grue!
 

Data Needs Testing Too

Ron Ballard

with Ron Ballard

On 28 August 2023 a faulty flight plan brought Gatwick to a standstill. The application had been working for years but the data was bad. You can test your application, but you never know what data will be thrown at it. This talk is about testing the data.
 

My Journey Into Robotics – there is probably a better way!

Gary Emmerton

with Gary Emmerton

My interest in IoT and electronics has led me to dive into the world of robotics as a bit of a hobby. I’ll talk through some of my early experiments, experiences, things I've learned along the way and you’ll have a chance to see (and maybe try!) some of my latest working (ish) models. I’ll explain how they work and where my journey is heading next.
