\"furance-and-minard-coding-1\"<\/a>Pupils at Minard and Furnace Primaries were very fortunate last week to have developed their coding skills through two mini-technology days led by Steven Simpson of Argyll & Bute Council. The technology days came about as a result of pupil feedback saying they were really keen to learn more about coding. Steven came along to both primaries armed with Raspberry Pi, Lego We Do 2.0 (programmable lego) and \u2018Flying Spiders\u2019 (drones). Steven also showed us how to make mini-film trailers using Ipads.

Below are some photos and quotes from the pupils.
\nJeremi (P6 Minard) said \u201cI really enjoyed learning about the App called \u201cTickle\u201d and programming movements for the \u2018Flying Spider\u2019 \u201c.
\nMarie (P6 Furnace) said \u201cIt was great because we had fun while learning a lot more about technology and programming\u201d.
\nAndrew (P6 Furnace)) said \u201cWe were learning new skills and working well together.\u201d
\nKaine (P6 Minard) said \u201cIt was amazing, I really liked the programmable lego.\u201d
Before he left Steven showed us how to make our very own QR code which will be in our next school newsletters.
