CREATING THE FUTURE WITH CODE
S2 Computing Science pupils recently visited the Kings Trust in Glasgow to take part in the thrilling Code and Create Challenge. The day began with an introduction to coding, where pupils got hands-on experience learning the basics of programming and building their own algorithms.
After being treated to a delicious Domino’s lunch, the real challenge began. Pupils were split into teams and tasked with designing and implementing their very own app. The room buzzed with creativity as ideas came to life, from concept sketches to working prototypes.
By the end of the day, pupils had not only strengthened their programming knowledge but also developed vital teamwork, problem-solving, and presentation skills, all essential for a future in the ever growing world of technology.
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.
