Scottish Council for Development & Industry

Scottish Council for Development & Industry’s Little Lighthouse Project is an exciting interdisciplinary project designed for P1 – P4 pupils uses the context of lighthouses to introduce them to various STEM concepts, including electricity, light, sounds and computing science.

Through a partnership between Scottish Council for Development & Industry (SCDI) and BT Scotland, teachers in 40 schools in the Highlands, Western Isles, Perth & Kinross and the Scottish Borders will receive CPD training courses to equip them with the knowledge and skills they need to deliver the Little Lighthouse project in schools, benefiting 1200 pupils across the four areas. To assist them with this, the schools will receive a resource kit.

The project will combine the CAS Barefoot computing workshop to introduce computational thinking, with a range of exciting digital activities using CodeBugs and Scratch. Over 1,200 children will benefit from the introduction of this project.
