CS Teachers! Would you like to stream the @DataFest_ #datasummit to your classroom on 2/11 & 3/11? Amazing talks on data and AI by incredible people. DM me by Fri 27/10 to request streaming tix! Program: datafest.global/data-summit @stacshq @CASScotland @CompEdNet

@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 @DigiLearnMoray @DigiLearnScot @NAllianceScot @CASScotland

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.

@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? 🤔😄

Returned to my classroom to find this after being downstairs period 7. Must have been done at the end of the school day. I suspect Highers. I'll call their bluff and demand to see the data.

@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

@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

CALLING TEACHERS: ada.scot end today but competitions are still running into Nov. Great classroom activities... ☑️ Get creative with Me, Myself & AI from @Scottish_AI Apply for investigation pack here bit.ly/3SHTdJx
