Technology Showcase – On Saturday 7 May 2016 around 300 primary pupils from across Helensburgh and Lomond attended a technology showcase event with parents.
The aim of the event was to help equip young people with the necessary skills and knowledge to turn computing ideas into concepts, showcase what can be created through technology and provide additional exciting computer science related learning opportunities.
The event started with presentations on employment opportunities in the technology sector from industry experts.
Pupils from local schools expertly led 9 workshops which included an opportunity for participants to get hands with the technology. The pupils delivered outstanding presentations and engaging workshops for a range of new and exciting technologies.
The workshops included:
– Raspberry Pi
– Project Spark
– Kodu
– Robotics
– App development and BBC Micro:Bit
– Animations
– Green Screen
– Drones
– Lego WeDO 2.0
A super day! Well done Steven and Gary!
Children As Leaders and showing such confidence. I know the children from Rosneath Primary School thoroughly enjoyed showcasing Kodu and I thoroughly enjoyed taking a back seat and watching them shine.
A wonderful opportunity for all of our young people in Helensburgh and Lomond.
thank you to all of the organisers,teaching staff and of course the children.
looking forward to the next one.
