Maisondieu Primary School

Maisondieu Primary School in Angus will be developing after school ‘Digi-Clubs’ and other family learning extracurricular activities using robots to teach coding and computational thinking to primary age children, especially young girls. Pupils will complete progressively more challenging tasks using ‘Marty the Robot’, an educational robot which has been chosen as the main engagement tool due to its adaptability, scalability, durability and engagement factor. The Clubs will culminate in a final challenge in which all groups will compete with the winners selected via an all-school vote. Older pupils who become proficient in coding will then support their fellow young pupils in future ‘Digi-Clubs’.
