S1 & S2 Girls Visit Barclays Glasgow Campus
A group of 15 S1 and S2 girls recently visited the Barclays Glasgow Campus at Clyde Place, taking part in an inspiring and engaging STEM experience. The visit featured four exciting activities, including navigating a course with a Sphero robot kit, a Microbit-powered scavenger hunt, and designing a user interface for a Concert Tickets app. The pupils also enjoyed a guided tour of the impressive and modern campus.
Far from the traditional office environment, the Barclays campus impressed the girls with its vibrant, open spaces. They were particularly amazed by “The Street” – a public area within the campus that includes a café, salon, barbers, spa, gym, fine dining restaurant, and cocktail bar. The futuristic and welcoming environment gave the pupils a fresh perspective on what a workplace can look like, with many commenting that it felt like a “cool place to work.”
This visit was not only a fun and eye-opening day out, but also a great opportunity to spark interest in technology and digital careers.
Lego Programming
During our weekly LEGO Robotics classes, pupils learn coding and mechanical engineering, while developing their computational thinking, using scientific models and designiing prototypes. To motivate our young people to stay involved and keep learning, we use a wide range of techniques such as LEGO building, Robotics competitions, Stop Motion Animation, Photography and Film making. Pupils will start by using simple visual programming blocks provided by LEGO, and within few terms progress to learning and using new programming languages that enable them to develop games for their Robots.
Our club focus on supporting them to think, understand and analyse each step of their Robots Building and Coding.
The third block of the Lego Robotics Club will commence of Wednesday 07 May at 12.45pm. All S1 and S2 pupil are welcome to come along.
Lego Robotics Club aims to develop science and technology skills in a fun and engaging way.
We will look at programming Lego Wedo, Spike and Mindstorm sets.
