Coding Devices Loan Scheme
Embedded Files
To support the Welsh Government’s Cracking the Code strategy, Partneriaeth have a number of programmable coding devices are available to loan for a term.
These programmable devices will provide learners with the opportunity to develop their computational thinking and coding skills either during curriculum time or during extra- curricular activities i.e. Code Club. Partneriaeth also hope that this will enable schools to try equipment and evaluate their effectiveness before considering purchasing their own set of devices.
Full details of the equipment that is available and the borrowing terms can be found below.
Expectations from the schools that are loaned the devices are as follows:
• That the devices are used to develop learners' computational thinking and coding skills.
• That the devices are returned in good working order.
• That schools share any planning / resources / pupil work that they have developed to use with the devices.
• That schools complete a short evaluation form.
