Can technology protect wildlife before it’s too late?

This KS3 / lower secondary computing lesson asks students to step into the role of system analysts working on a real-time wildlife surveillance network. They investigate how motion sensors trigger automatic responses, how the CPU makes decisions based on input data, and how cloud upload completes the system. Learners examine artefacts from a camera trap project and model the end-to-end data flow, using structured prompts to identify system components and propose improvements.

Through this, students uncover:

• How input and output devices function in the field
• What the CPU actually does in a reactive system
• How cloud-based systems manage real-time responses
• The concept of automated decision-making in embedded systems
• Why data storage and transmission matter in live environmental monitoring
