The big data show at Cyberscotland week 2021

10 February 2021

We’re big on cybersecurity. In fact, so big on it, we made a show all about it.

So we’re delighted that The Big Data Show will be shown for free as part of this year’s CyberScotland Week, from 22-28 February.

Join us us at 3pm on Thursday 25 February and take part in our immersive, interactive performance, where our hackers Cy and Bug learn the hard way that you’re not always as safe as you think you are online.

If you’re a teacher, or educator, contact us directly to book your class in for a special schools-only performance at 10am.
