Pupils Achieve Success in CyberEPQ Programme

Congratulations to Cheltenham College pupils Trinnie and Sam, who have successfully completed their CyberEPQ qualifications, researching the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) across a range of contemporary issues.

For her project, Trinnie explored the relationship between Artificial Intelligence, cognitive therapy and moral authority.

Trinnie said: “I explored the relationship between Artificial Intelligence, cognitive therapy, and moral authority. I completed a computing course with a specialist module in AI in preparation for my work, which allowed me to gain strong knowledge about the area, given that I have not studied computing academically. From this new experience, I enjoyed learning about a completely new subject that is very relevant in today’s world, and I hope that it has given me the appropriate knowledge to be able to use AI to the best of my advantage in the future, both in an academic and profession sphere. As well as my EPQ result, I also obtained official qualifications from the CyberEPQ administration that I look forward to using in the future. I really enjoyed partaking in the CyberERQ, and I encourage others to experience this new opportunity.”

Sam’s project focused on the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the cyber security industry, examining both its potential benefits and challenges.

He explained: “For my Cyber EPQ I researched the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the cyber security industry, focusing on how AI can improve threat detection and prevent cyber-attacks. In my essay I also explored the potential dangers AI posed and its environmental impact. I particularly enjoyed the case studies I had to do as I was able to learn about real world events which were affected by the industry. Completing this qualification has given me a greater understanding of the relationship between AI, cyber security, and sustainability. It has also developed my research, analytical and critical thinking skills, allowing me to evaluate different perspectives, interpret information from a range of sources and form balanced conclusions about the future of AI.”

Congratulations to Trinnie and Sam on this outstanding achievement.
