STEM Update

Computer science students in year 7 and year 8 recently took part in specially arranged STEM lesson. The students had fun using a small single board computer called a microbit. The school has purchased a full set of these ‘byte size’ computers and programming them is inspiring students to think about computer science in more interesting ways.

 

A specialist guest teacher from Giggleswick school in the UK (Alison Earnshaw) led 2 brilliant lessons.
