Engaging, active and collaborative computing workshops
Digit<all> workshops provide a unique experience for your pupils; the activites provide curriculum-mapped and led by exceptional computing teachers from across the UK. Our range of workshops provides young people the opportunity to develop coding, AI, data science and cyber skill
s through the lens of climate action and sustainability.
All our workshop leaders are experience computing teachers from primary and secondary sectors who are passionate about young people having memorable experiences learning computing. They are used to working with large groups of pupils, are DBS-enhanced checked and understand school environments.
All our workshops are curriculum-aligned and enable your school to cover key elements of the computing curriculum in a fun and engaging way. Each workshops provides opportunities to develop coding and computational skills and knowledge. Our EcoCode and Coding for Climate Action workshops provide cross-curricular science and computing experiences.
The workshops provide a focus on using hands-on approaches with the micro:bit. This enables pupils to get active and collaborative and see computing as a creative and engaging subject. Our ambassadors can bring micro:bits and Chromebooks to your school to run workshops or we can run the activities using your own devices. If internet connectivity is low, ambassadors can also bring 5g connection hubs.

We bring professional development into the classroom to support the upskilling of your teachers to help them provide a world class computing curriculum. Our amabassadors work alongside your teachers, giving them confidence to deliver engaging and active computing lessons.
Supporting your Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy
Our EcoCode and Coding for Climate Action workshops provide are contextualised through innovative research into sustainability at UKRI. Key focus areas include energy, waster & recycling, biodiversity and nature and climate education.
Climate Education
Exploring how to mitigate the effects of natural hazards as a result of climate change.
Energy
Develop knoweldge of green energy, optimising heating, cooling and lighting.
Nature
Know how the natural world can help scientists develop sustainable practices.
EcoCode workshops
Examples of these sustainability-focused workshops include finding why penguins' feet don't freeze, why polar bear hair isn't white, why llamas are essential for vaccines and why projectile slime is so useful!
All these workshops make use of the micro:bit where pupils create prototypes using different sensors and outputs. They test their solutions by moving and getting active and learn important links between science and computing.

Coding for Climate Action workshops
Examples of learning include the impact of natural hazards and the importance of early warning system to help save lives and communities and how to log data and explore climate issues including food, fitness and the environment.
All these workshops make use of the micro:bit where children code prototype solutions, get active and collaboratively refine and improve solutions.

Workshop Feedback
Everyone was so impressed by how engaging the sessions were, especially considering you were working through a heatwave! You and your team brought amazing energy and kept the children completely engrossed in their challenges despite the rising temperatures.
The kids absolutely loved creating the animal images and color patterns. The workshops provided a wonderful new angle for the children. Thank you again for all your hard work, patience, and enthusiasm. We would love to have you back in the future!
South Moreton Primary School, Oxfordshire
Even those who are usually less confident in computing quickly became absorbed in the tasks, gaining confidence as they successfully programmed their micro:bits. The spider silk workshop was incredible! The children were completely fascinated by how something so thin could be so strong. They were excited, curious, and fully engaged throughout—many of them said it was one of the most interesting and memorable experiences they’ve ever had.

As an eco-school we are always looking at ways we can help the children to link their passion for the environment with technology and future careers. Also, the session was a perfect fit with the Catholic Social Teaching Principal of care for creation and all the work we have done in year 6 surrounding Laudato Si and how the children can be stewards of creation. They came away from the session with lots of enthusiasm for how they can use their coding to have a real impact on the planet and its future.
