Crookston Castle Primary School

Crookston Castle Primary School in Glasgow will develop a new after-school ‘Digi-Club’ to teach children about computing (particularly coding) using resources such as micro:bits, Spheros and iPads. Crookston Castle is currently aiming to become a school more focused on digital learning and already has many elements of Computing Science incorporated throughout the curriculum, however they do not currently offer a an after-school coding or robotics club. Support from Digital Xtra Fund will provide the resources to develop and run such a club and help the school engage even more young people with digital learning. Children who are not currently engaged in digital technologies and/or come from groups underrepresented in the technology sector will specifically be invited to take part with a focus to engage girls who view computing as a male-based task
