Primary 1-4 had a visit from Generation Science this week.\u00a0 This touring company are based in the Glasgor Science centre and came to Leswalt Primary to lead a workshop based on programming.\u00a0 By the end of the afternoon all pupils were aware of how programming works and had experience of programming a lego goal keeper to move and try to save balls from scoring goals.\u00a0 Some of the children even went onto add motion sensors to their programme which meant that the goal keeper moved in anticipation of the penalty being scored.\u00a0 Pupils used touch screen laptops to programme their goalies.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

It was definitely very high tech stuff for such little people – but the thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon and really got a lot out of the experience.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n
