As part of Computing Science Education Week, the trio participated in the Hour Of Coding initiative. This is a worldwide event organised to allow children the experience of coding and programming as part of developing skills for future life and learning.
Carol Moyes, RAiSE team (Raising Aspirations in STEM Education) kindly travelled from Dumfries to visit Leswalt, Kircolm and Portpatrick on the same day.
Our P4-7 pupils were able to select coding challenges to work collaboratively on. They applied the computational thinking of logic and evaluation to create algorithms to control and design computing gaming activities. They had to use decomposition to break down sequences into steps and debug any errors. All the children were highly motivated and engaged throughout the whole activity.
The activities are available to explore and use at home via the code.org website.
Our thanks to Carol for her help and support
