Edinburgh Science

In addition, Edinburgh Science will also deliver a touring workshop in Aberdeenshire and Perth & Kinross focussing on coding as part of their Generation Science programme. Aimed at children in P4-P7, ‘Creative Coding’ will be a 75-minute hands-on workshop in which children pair up to complete programming challenges and create a robot disco. Students will use programming language Scratch to program their own ‘Marty the Robot’ to follow commands and navigate its way around an obstacle course. As they explore programming, students will also develop their logic and problem-solving skills. As a touring programme, Generation Science can reach children who would not otherwise have access to advanced digital skills activities.
