Riverside Primary School
Riverside Primary School in West Lothian will run a VEX GO STEM Club for P5 to P7 students. Participants will learn about coding, algorithmic thinking, loops and functions, and problem-solving as well as working with motors and sensors. They will then use these skills working in small groups to undertake the VEX GO competition before creating their own ‘in-house’ competition.
Preston Tower Primary School
The Digi-Ninjas Coding and Robotics Club for P1 to P7 learners will give young people an opportunity to learn to code using the Sphero BOLT+.
Ochil Youths Community Improvement
Ochil Youths Community Improvement in Clackmannanshire will run the Codesign Project weekly for young people from P5 to S3. The club’s members will learn how to design and code a multi-level platform video game with support from Abertay University.
Mintlaw Academy
The Robotics Club at Mintlaw Academy in Aberdeenshire will be a coding club for learners from S1 to S6. Participants will have the opportunity to create and customise a Kitronik :MOVE mini MK2 buggy, controlled by a BBC micro:bit V2, using 3D printing helping develop their skills in both coding and CAD/CAM.
McLaren High School
McLaren High School will continue delivering the successful McLaren High Primary Robotics initiative for P5-P7 learners in primary schools across Stirling. The initiative features a series of coding and robotics challenges designed by McLaren’s staff and students based on local geography and industry.

Participants will complete a series of lessons in the Sphero Edu App to develop their coding, creativity, programming, and collaboration skills. Once confident using the robots, learners will undertake the ‘Sphero Global Challenge – Season 6’ to further develop their skills.
Dunfermline High School
Dunfermline High School, located in the heart of Fife, will run Virtual Reality Games Design Workshops providing learners with an immersive, hands-on VR games design experience using CoSpaces Edu and Meta Quest 3s headsets, thus bridging the gap between abstract coding concepts and real-world application.
