DIGITAL MAKERS
Digital Makers takes place as part of our school LEAP program and runs on a Wednesday after school.
Digital Makers allows students to explore a range of computer programming techniques from JavaScript and HTML emojis and animation, Arduino Programming, Microbit programming in Scatch and Python and also robotics where we use different programming languages to allow the robots to communicate with each other, race round the room, follow mazes and avoid obstacles.
We have the following Electronics and MicroController Computers available for the students to learn and play as well as online programming software to create JS animations, and games.
