Smeaton300 Coding Day with Barclays
We’re inviting Year 6 pupils from across Leeds for a two-hour creative coding workshop to create a game using the basics of coding, as well as discovering the amazing work of John Smeaton.
As part of LEEDS 2023’s Smeaton300 programme, we’ve partnered with Barclay’s Code Playground to offer a chance to develop learner skills relevant to the KS2 Computing Curriculum, as well as help teachers upskill in teaching coding.
Using the Scratch website, they will explore conditional selection and repetition in coding. At the end of the session your class will have a fully working game that they can customise and build on in their future computing lessons.
