Join Engineers from the National Robotarium as they take learners through Soft Robotics and Artificial Intelligence.
Soft Robotics focuses on technologies that more closely resemble the physical characteristics of living organisms, such as a tentacle arm gripper, artificial octopus or a worm. Materials used are unlike the usually materials found in robots, they are ‘soft’ such as, silicone, polymers and liquid crystals.
Soft robotics is being used widely throughout the medical field (surgery, prosthetics and pain management) their movement demonstrates their closeness to humans, animals and plants. A Soft Robotics Engineer will be showing examples and discussing how soft robotics is being used throughout many different industries.
This is an amazing opportunity for secondary school students around the UK to find out what it means to work in tech and hear from women studying or working in the industry in Scotland. Hosted by Next Tech Girls
“We hope to encourage the students to pursue studies and careers in tech too. They don’t need to be studying Computing/Computer Science now to join the event.
Students won’t need access to computers, just a screen they can all see with the video call on it. They might want paper and pens.
The women speaking at the event will include a Software Developer at Barclays and Computing undergraduate at the University of Glasgow. We will share more information nearer the time.”

Be part of #CSscot23 by joining the Education Scotland Digital Team in a short 30 minute evening ‘Play Along’ session and be introduced to the concepts and approaches of Computational Thinking with Barefoot Computing, through fun, interactive activities.
We use Computational thinking strategies in our everyday lives and may not even realise it! Computational thinking is about learning to solve problems, with or without a computer. These problem-solving skills not only support the computing science curriculum but also play a part in many other areas of the curriculum and our lives, from PE to storytelling, maths and baking! Join us to find out more.
This session is suitable for all practitioners working with early level learners across a variety of settings.
Please have a pen and paper and small piece of playdough/plasticine to hand, to take part in the hands-on activities.
Barefoot resources for early level learners can be accessed here. For more information about Barefoot please watch this short video.
Celebrate #CSscot23 with the Education Scotland Digital Team, by joining a short 30 minute evening ‘Code Along’ session to explore the free online block-based coding app Scratch Jnr.
Scratch Jnr provides an introduction for early level learners to experiment with programming their own interactive stories and games through block-based coding, with endless opportunity to problem solve and express themselves creatively.
This session is suitable for all practitioners working with early level learners across a variety of settings.
Please download the app prior to the session and ‘Code Along’ with us.
The app be downloaded here. For more information about Scratch Jnr, please click here.
If possible, it would be more beneficial to join the session on one device so you can watch the demo and ‘code along’ with us on another device that has the Scratch Jnr app downloaded at the same time.
Accessibility
Having an accessibility need can be a daunting prospect for learners. Having an Additional Support Need that isn’t visible c`an impact pupil confidence and ability to take part in classroom activities. Accessiblity features on iPadOS can benefit all learners. Especially those with SEN/ASN.

Encouraging those around you to make better choices in their sustainable behaviour is hard. One important thing to encourage change is to convince them with data. Using the data logging feature on the BBC micro:bit, we will build a manual data logger to allow you to gather data for your local area. You could look at transport on the way to school or the types of litter in your local environment. The choice is yours but remember collecting the data is only the first step. Then you need to think about how you will present and share that data in order to make a difference.
This session is suitable for 2nd – 4th Level learners.
This session is based on the traffic survey project – https://microbit.org/projects/make-it-code-it/traffic-survey-data-logger/
