@kinlossprimary talked about randomness and probability as we were using #microbit dice for a game. Tested if dice rolls are random over 1 min and 3 min.
Also why randomness is in the best games. @CompatSch @DigiScot

Exciting new project designed to improve spatial thinking skills of Primary pupils. Growing body of experimental evidence that this also improves learning across a range of STEM subjects including CS.

[University of Glasgow @UofGlasgow]

Great piece in today’s @TheScotsman about STEM SPACE - a new partnership between @GlasgowCS and @TurnerKirkTrust which is aiming to boost children’s STEM education by teaching spatial skills in primary schools. ⬇️

@mrmckaycomp Looks like they had a 'wheely' good time whilst you were away. Quite a nicely labelled graph though. Some data scientists in the making? 🤔😄

@CompGlasgow @GregReidCS @ScullionToni @charlie_love and established a national network of professional learning communities for Computing teachers. Unfortunately, this high level of activity was difficult to maintain as purely volunteers working full-time with other commitments. We wish STACS and CS Scotland the best of luck. 2/2

[CAS Scotland @CASScotland]

@CompGlasgow @GregReidCS @ScullionToni @charlie_love We were founded and organised by Computing teachers who volunteered their time to raise the profile of Computing Science in Scotland. At our most active, we organised five national conferences, published several curriculum guides & reports on teacher numbers & BGE conditions 1/2
