Teaching & Learning
Bring your class to our live lesson
On March 23rd, we’re running a national lesson where pupils will learn about digital skills, data skills, and the ethics of using technology to make decisions. To take part, your class can watch along on YouTube.
The interactive lesson explores how personal data is used to make decisions. You’ll see how computer programmers can (often accidentally) implement their own bias into the algorithms and apps they create. We’ll challenge pupils to make a fair and unbiased algorithm.
We will guide you and your class through the activity. It’s aimed at learners age 10+ interested in tech, coding, and being ethical digital citizens.
Generation Science
We bring unique, live experiences directly to schools across Scotland which aim to inspire pupils of all ages to engage with science, technology, engineering and maths. With fully equipped shows and workshops and expert science communicators, all experiences are linked to the Curriculum for Excellence (CfE).

We will hear from Dr Geetha Marcus, Senior Lecturer in Teacher Education, who will explore perspectives on how an intersectional approach influences our understandings and practices around issues of inclusion and diversity.

Crisis Handling
The Inclusion and Wellbeing Service have organised for training around Crisis Handling for school staff. This is provided by www.changeschp.org.uk and they are providing 2 cohorts early in the new year. Please find attached information and a paragraph below about the training. This is in response to increasing instances of pupils presenting with high levels of emotional distress including suicidal thoughts and self-harm. It is hoped this training will give staff in schools who are supporting such children and young people with increased confidence in how to respond and the approaches best to take.
