As a Computing Hub, we have Physical Computing Kits for KS2-4 that we can lend to schools for up to 6-weeks. This allows you to plan a significant section of your course, knowing the resources will be available for you.
The kit contents can be found below and link to the free units of work available from the Teach Computing Curriculum:
Year 5 – Programming A – Selection in Physical Computing (Crumbles)
Year 6 – Programming B – Sensing (Micro:bits)
Year 9 – Physical Computing (Micro:bits)
KS4 – Physical Computing Project (Raspberry Pi Picos)
Teaching Programming to 5- to 11-year-olds (Bee-Bots)
We are also able to offer free face-to-face CPD, demonstrating the physical computing kit and how the Teach Computing Curriculum can be used to engage students. If you’d be interested in attending this CPD, please contact us via: TeachComputing@exeterms.ac.uk
