This interactive quiz will test you and your learners knowledge of all things Computing! From computer games to algorithms, the internet and code breaking and all the bits in between, there’s a little something for everyone!

Join us for this Apple Regional Training Centre Live Lesson on using Swift Playgrounds to celebrate a place or tradition that is important to them.

This is a session designed for P6-S1 Pupils who have a familiarity with iPad and Swift Playgrounds.

This two-part session was designed to enable second-level pupils to support younger learners during the live lesson. Both sessions are online, interactive live lessons and encourage classes to “buddy up”. Second level learners should physically sit next to younger learners during the second session.

This session, facilitated by Rebecca from Code Club is aimed at learners at the start of second level or who have had little or no experience with Scratch.

Watching nature is a brilliant way to relax, but wildlife doesn’t always come along when you want it to. In this project, you will make a butterfly garden where each butterfly flies in exactly the pattern you tell it to.

This session, facilitated by Rebecca from Code Club is aimed at second level learners and above who have experience with Scratch and are confident at navigating the interface.

Join us on Friday 15th November at 11am for a 45 min live lesson with our Barefoot Computing Teacher Isabella Lieghio. This interactive session is for P4-5 classes / learners at the end of first level, beginning of second level, in schools in Scotland.

School children - ready! micro:bits - ready!

Are children aged 7-11 at your primary school ready to design a gadget that will help the Gladiators improve performance? Do they want a chance to win some brilliant Gladiators and tech prizes? Then the Gladiators micro:bit competition is the place for you.

Annual Halloween competition is now live! This competition is open to all Primary and Secondary pupils.

Do you like breaking codes and solving ciphers? Then the Alan Turing Cryptography Competition is for you! Now in its tenth year, the Alan Turing Cryptography Competition is aimed at secondary school children in the UK up to S4 (Scotland). You don't need to be a computer whizz or a mathematical genius — you just need to keep your wits about you and be good at solving problems!

Our vision to forge strong relationships with industry and schools is an integral part of our practice at the National Robotarium.
