Computing LIVE! Student Event at Disneyland® Paris

More speakers to be announced soon! 

Our lively and interactive question and answer session gives the students control to ask the questions they want answers to. All the speakers take to the stage to answer questions to provide different perspectives and to offer invaluable career advice from their own experience.

Our complementary workbooks are designed to be used as your group enjoy the Disney® Parks. The workbooks contain park challenges which encourage students to take a step back and critically appraise the resort from their subject perspective. These park challenges provide opportunity for problem solving, decision making as well as working together so that your students get the maximum from the their time at Disneyland® Paris.

Our LIVE! Events Team provide expert on-site support throughout your stay to make your trip as easy and memorable as possible: 

• Be on-hand & provide assistance throughout the event 
• Register your students at the conference & take questions 

Ed is a hacker and technologist who has spent decades exploring how technology really works - and how it can be broken, fixed, and made safer. His work has helped shape the UK’s cybersecurity landscape at the highest levels. Ed was a founding member of the National Crime Agency’s PREVENT scheme (now part of Cyber Choices), helping to steer young people away from cybercrime and into positive, ethical careers. 

As an ethical hacker, Ed has worked with banks, governments, and critical organisations around the world, helping them understand how real attackers think and how to defend against them. His career shows that curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving can lead to meaningful and impactful work in cybersecurity.

Step behind the screen and explore the hidden world that powers the internet. Ed will reveal the invisible networks all around us - the systems that allow your phone, games console, and laptop to talk to the rest of the world. You'll discover what really happens when you send a message, load a website, or connect to Wi-Fi. 

Through live demonstrations and hands-on experiments your students can try at home, the session will break down the key building blocks of the internet: wireless networks, IP addresses, DNS, TLS, and TCP. Along the way, stories from Ed’s work as an ethical hacker will show how networks can be explored, tested, and sometimes even tricked - and how the internet protects itself.
