University of the Highlands and Islands

This project builds on the successful Lego Mindstorms programme and involves training of primary teachers and school helpers by lecturers from University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) Inverness College enabling them to teach computing science skills across the Highlands & Islands region.

Lego Mindstorms are distributed to participating schools and delivered to pupils by their primary teachers with support from UHI. Pupil sessions are delivered in schools hours with teachers encouraged and supported to operate either pre-school morning clubs, lunchtime clubs or after school depending on individual schools needs. Participating pupils have the opportunity to take part in the newly created UHI Inverness Lego League.
