Last week Ibrox Primary visited Pacific Quay, home to BBC Scotland in Glasgow, and had a morning of digital skills fun.
We kicked things off with a bit of Minecraft building and our BBC LAB team helped the P6s make a short film about the session.

We also set up some Virtual Reality sessions which the children (not to mention the adults) LOVED and our 3D printing hub provided by the Mitchell Library was a big hit too.

There are lots more photos over at our specially created gallery, so do have a look at what was going on and check out some of the builds which happened in just a couple of hours.
Following our recent event at the National Museum of Scotland we’re going to be following it up with something a wee bit different.
We’ll be attending Insomnia Scotland over the May Day bank holiday weekend. We have a few sessions planned as well as having an exhibition space throughout the weekend where we’ll be building landmarks and telling anyone who’ll listen about the project.
If you are planning on going along then do come by and say “hello”.
If you head over to our BBC website at bbc.co.uk/builditscotland then you’ll notice we have made a few changes to the layout. We wanted to make it as easy as possible to find exactly what you need and so have rearranged the content to (hopefully) make it as easy as possible to navigate around.

If you feel something doesn’t feel quite right or needs pointed up in a different way then please do let us know as we’re eager to please!
At our BBC site you’ll find-
- information on how to get involved
- printable PDFs on how to access, download and use Tinkercad, SketchUp and Minecraft software
- videos of our pilot schools – what went well, what was more challenging and what YOU can get out of the project
- a series of Bright Spark videos which highlight links between the processes and skills young people will tap into with this project, and jobs in the real world
- FAQs
- updates on our live events
We’ll keep adding content as the project continues so do keep checking back in.
Once builds begin to come our way then we’ll produce a gallery to showcase as many as we can. So don’t wait around- get your builds to us and let us show them off for you!
Build it Scotland is inviting children aged 7-14 to help build Scotland’s top landmarks in a virtual world. Whether it’s your own local museum or one of the nation’s favourite castles, we want you to help create an online map of Scotland.
