Early start this morning for our Before School Club at @Oughtringtoncps this term we are animating- kicking off with stick man acrobatics! #computerxplorers

[ComputerXplorers Bolton & Wigan @CompXBolton]

Nice little collab build from our Morning Tech club at @Oughtringtoncps nicely coded to engineer a turn too 👏👏👏

@Positive_Soc @padgateacademy @ChrisHillidge We do love a good biscuit, and if anyone has seen the session, you will know all about Emily and her biscuit video obsession 🤣

[Positive Social charity @Positive_Soc]

Although she may not look it, Emily was particularly excited by the tea break provided
@padgateacademy !

Year 7s were shown how they can have a better relationship with social media.

We've still got enough funding to deliver FREE sessions at one more #Warrington secondary!

[ComputerXplorers Bolton & Wigan @CompXBolton]

@Beaumontprimary This looks like such fun!

[ComputerXplorers Bolton & Wigan @CompXBolton]

Great to be at @thomasboteler with @Positive_Soc over the last couple of days- we love delivering this session!

[Positive Social charity @Positive_Soc]

So great to be at @thomasboteler School today helping Year 7s make good decisions about how they use social media. Just look at those commitments to change!

Well done to our #Warrington deliverer Emily (@CompXBolton) & @CertasBusiness for its generous sponsorship.

Since the real life snow didn’t last long, we decided to have a @PlayCraftLearn snow day with our InfantXplorers afterschool club at @Oughtringtoncps, with igloos and ice houses, polar bears and snow bunnies and all without the frozen fingers and toes- #minecraft Win!

@Positive_Soc Yes! This one always surprises the kids I find!

98% of issues in my school are caused by social media, one assistant headteacher told us.

Do you know we run free sessions for Year 7s across England?

Our first #Warrington school!

Thanks to @GorseCovert Primary School for inviting Emily (and @StMarysCHS work experience student) to help students make good decisions when it comes to #socialmedia.

Emily is part of the amazing @CompXBolton team, which supports Positive Social.

[ComputerXplorers Bolton & Wigan @CompXBolton]

@Positive_Soc Indeed!

[ComputerXplorers Bolton & Wigan @CompXBolton]

Top drawer insult right there🤣

[Positive Social charity @Positive_Soc]

She may look serious but Emily is smiling inside...

She had a great time @ Marsh Green Primary School in #Wigan.

Our workshops include asking a student to insult us to illustrate how social media is used as a barrier:

"You've got more wrinkles than a radiator."

Poor Emily!

[ComputerXplorers Bolton & Wigan @CompXBolton]

@WiganLibraries Looking forward to it!
