Dundee & Angus College in partnership with the Dundee Science Centre

Aiming to reach around 600 pupils in Dundee, the project will deliver an informal learning programme to young people located in areas unequipped with the facilities and resources required to foster engagement with digital skills.

Pupils aged 12-16 engage with the project, which will be implemented in three stages. ‘Portable lab’ sessions will introduce them to vital computer science fields, such as networking, programming and web design, through a series of fun and interactive practical events.

Free evening Code Academy classes and taster workshops will also be offered. This will provide an opportunity for young people to gain first hand practical experience of web development, robotics and software development, creating a solid understanding of basic programming and technical skills.

Participants in the project and their families will be invited to a celebratory digital themed day at the Dundee Science Centre, to provide a further learning opportunity in a fun environment and congratulate the children on their hard work.
