ComputerXplorers

ComputerXplorers will introduce S1 pupils in East Lothian to coding through exciting and engaging workshops.

Inspired by the ambitious rollout across the UK of the BBC Micro:bit last year, ComputerXplorers will use this pocket-sized computer equipped with motion detection, built-in compass and Bluetooth technology to spark creativity and show children they can be more than the consumers of technology – they can also be the makers.

Expected to reach around 360 pupils, this project will also include 3 CPD sessions for teachers, to help them understand how they can continue to inspire their pupils about technology in the classroom throughout the year.
