#ComputingScience

What a terrific session with Louise Foreman from Education Scotland this week. She gave us a whistle stop tour of all things Computing Science for Early to Second Level, as well as lot of hints and tips. A huge thanks also to Kay Harvey from Heriot Primary who shared some of the ways she uses computational thinking and computing science with her P1s. If you missed the session, you can catch-up on our YouTube Channel here:
