A massive thank you to the brilliant @raisingrobots team. Fantastic CLPL for our staff and an exciting Lego Spike Prime sessions for our pupils on Bute. #RaisingRobots #LegoSpikePrime #STEM

This week we ran our VR and escape room team building activities with a group of our Depute Head Teachers! AND, we have a new best time unravelling the escape room of 16:34!

What an amazing day celebrating the climate smarter project 25 of our schools participated in, a day of workshops and careers talks and the announcement of the winners of the project and competition Small Isles Primary, well done 👏

This week we joined P3/2 & P2 at Kirn Primary for a rocket launching workshop! They’ve been learning about #space this term, and they really know their fins and fuselages!

We're delighted that nearly 400 #STARS24 mission patches journeyed to space with @clubforfuture on Blue Origin's New Glenn. Each returned patch is now stamped "flown in space"! 🚀@blueorigin @STEMedscot @abc_OCTF @LochnellSchool @HermitageAcad @DiscoverSpaceUK @dallascampbell

Such exciting outdoor activities up at @argyllandbute Headquarters! Thank you to the amazing partners who came out to host workshops and share valuable knowledge into STEM in Argyll and Bute. @ACTinArgyll @LtL_News @NatureScot @ArgyllandButeSTEM @RaiseScotland

We’re having an amazing day with our primary schools from the Mid Argyll area at @abdigilearn at their LANDS25 event! We’ve spent the morning at @LochgilpheadJC where there have been a range of exciting workshops 😄 @gsc1 @ssencommunity @DraxGroupUK @balfourbeatty @SAMSOceannews

We're looking forward to welcoming 200 pupils to the grounds of Kilmory Castle tomorrow for LANDS25. #STEM #LFS @ArgyllButeSTEM @RaiseScotland

Thrilled to be a part of the Alienergy #MAKSTEMFest 2025 at Machrihanish this week. The showcase from Argyll and Bute employers was outstanding and our team were pleased to contribute with our LEGO Spike Prime rover workshop.

After a storm delayed Burns Afternoon, we were able to premiere our ‘To a Mouse’ animation project to parents. We’re really proud of it and the creative journey we went on. Here’s a little abridged version if you’d like to take a peek… @abdigilearn @intofilm_edu @intofilm_scot

Fantastic day of digital learning at Easdale Primary School

Come with us as we join our Digital Team at their STEM Event in Hermitage Primary! This day gave pupils and staff an opportunity to explore educational technology that could be used within their classrooms. @abdigilearn #ABEdManagerFocus #DigitalLearning #STEMInSchools

“Incredible!” “Awesome!” “Best day ever!” Feedback from our children at the end of a fabulous day with the @abdigilearn team. From coding to animation, robotics to green screen; we experienced it all and learned new things together. Thank you to our Digital Leaders and @abc_OCTF

AI: What could I do with this? This week on the Best in Class podcast from @WeareXMA , we take a departure into the world of AI, looking at some of The Good, the Bad, and Ugly bits of this transformational technology. Whenever a new feature appears, teachers and school leaders are very good at thinking about the kinds of use case that could benefit their children or their staff. What could this do for you? podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/xmabe… Search Best in Class XMA at Spotify, Apple and Amazon

An amazing trip to @LochnellSchool to visit one of our Rocket Patch Competition winners. We designed and launched our own air rockets with the P2 and P5/6 classes. Greats designs by all pupils! Well done everyone! #STARS24AB #STEM #forces
