The YMCA Paisley Maker Space are working in collaboration with Girlguiding Scotland to deliver the Guides\u2019 Digital Scotland Challenge Badge.\u200b The badge \u200baims to empower every girl to make the most of the opportunities technology offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u200bThe\u00a0Digital Scotland Challenge Badge<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0was created in partnership with Skills Development Scotland and Education Scotland.The badge offers a range of activities and challenges and is open to Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers \u2013 so girls of all ages can get involved in STEM-related learning.Research by Girlguiding Scotland<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0highlights that science and technology still continue to be perceived as more male subjects, with one in two girls saying science, technology, engineering and maths subjects were \u2018more for boys\u2019 while only 37% of girls said they would consider a job in technology. The Digital Scotland Challenge badge aims to change those perceptions and teaches young girls about computers, algorithms, creativity, design, and computational thinking, as well as highlighting career options in the industry.\u200bFor further information on this approach, follow\u00a0this link<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and head over to the National Improvement Hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pizza Maths Renfrewshire<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pizza Maths was delivered to families of P4 and P5, by Adult Learning and Literacies staff (CLD). This was delivered over a 10 week period using a range of learning and teaching methods and techniques, including using mini wipeboards, games; tactile participative activities, and challenges for home to encourage transferable and continued learning. A free cr\u00e8che was provided.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The learning and teaching was planned using the Scottish Survey of Literacy and Numeracy Reports and Renfrewshire Council\u2019s Progression and Support Pathways, and in negotiation with the School Numeracy Champion and the families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exemplar highlights the creative approaches used to engage parents with little or no previous experience in science to undertake a series of learning experiences related to STEM topics (Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between 2016 and 2017, a group of parents from St Mary\u2019s Primary School in Maryhill, Glasgow were supported by Glasgow Clyde College\u2019s Community Learning and Development section to undertake a series of classes that focused on STEM, literacy and numeracy and wellbeing. The motivation for the parents to undertake these areas of study was driven by the need to be more engaged with their children\u2019s learning. However, it ultimately engaged the parents in gaining greater knowledge for themselves as adult returners. As well as increasing confidence to support their children in these topic areas, the classes resulted in the parents, for the first time, gaining a qualification in a science based subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
