The transition from Primary to Secondary school is a crucial milestone for pupils, yet opportunities for teachers to collaborate across these phases are often limited. That's why we are incredibly excited about tonight's upskilling session.

It has broken down down barriers and fostered genuine collaboration between experienced Primary and Secondary educators. All STACS Upskilling sessions are far from traditional "chalk and talk" upskilling, it isn't just theory; it's about practical strategies, shared insights, interactive sessions, and pick up and play resources for the wider teaching community that will directly benefit pupils.

Ian Simpson, a Computing Science teacher at Albyn School, shared his excellent work he is doing with Esports at his school at the recent Aberdeen Meet Up - Code The City. Showcasing his innovative approach to engaging students with Esports.

STACS, a teacher-led organisation dedicated to championing and supporting Computing Science educators, is proud to announce the release of comprehensive resources for teaching Computing Science from Nursery to Primary 7. With a mission to inspire pupils, empower teachers, and work closely with the teaching community, STACS is committed to fostering a strong foundation for Computing Science education from the earliest stages of learning across Scotland.

Join us for a virtual drop-in session to learn more about the paid tutor posts available as part of STACS Upskilling 2024/25. This is a great opportunity to hear about this year's format and ask any questions you may have.

At STACS, we recognise that the work undertaken in the early years through to P7 is critical for advancing Computing Science. Inspiring young pupils, particularly girls, is key to building a sustainable and diverse tech talent pipeline for Scotland. By encouraging early engagement, we can make significant strides in closing the gender gap in Computing Science. We are excited to extend these tutor opportunities to teachers delivering Computing Science from early years through to Secondary.

This year the scope will be flexible while building on and evolving from prior programmes. In addition to NQ Computing Science, it may include CS learning experiences from the start of the BGE in Early Years through Primary and S1-3, for example across primary-secondary transition.
