Our Advanced STEMbotics workshops challenges students to design, build and code LEGO robots using text-based code via Python. Students code their robots using Python, reinforcing and extending prior learning from the computing curriculum. This is a great workshop for challenging competent block coders and introducing them to text-based code. We can cover core coding principles of sequencing, selection and iteration, with the possibility of using functions and variables in longer session formats.

In all other subjects, children start with the basics, move into the middle ground and then onto more advanced levels. Of course, if we started kids on Ladybird books and jumped straight to Tolstoy, we’d have a serious problem. However, this seems to be the case with coding. It is the common-ground to start with tools like Scratch and other ‘block based’ environments and then move onto Python and other real-world languages. There’s nothing wrong with either platform, just that quite simply, the gap between them is far too wide and as such we are likely to lose many potential candidates on the way. FUZE provides a transition between these two environments and in doing so lowers the barriers to entry of the real-world languages. Without a reasonable understanding of the core coding principles, Python and C etc. can look extremely complicated. However, by learning in the middle ground with FUZE things start to fall into place.

An engaging workshop with practical’s to learn about the Raspberry Pi and coding. During the workshop, they programme the Raspberry Pi to light an LED, build a traffic light circuit and programme it using the Raspberry Pi GPIO pins and learn to code with the Scratch programming language.

Our new Getting Started with Website Design and Development Workshop is a great way to introduce your pupils to coding. We'll focus on HTML, CSS and JavaScript throughout a full-day workshop. At the end of the day, they will have a working website, along with notes and support so they are equipped to design an online portfolio for their work, or other project.

Our new Python Workshop is great for teaching coding fundamentals through a real-world programming language. We will use Python (a programming language used by companies such as Google and NASA) to teach coding basics!

Our Coding Games Workshop teaches the basics of coding and game development. We'll teach coding fundamentals with a very practical workshop, giving pupils plenty of hands-on time with code, creating arcade-style games and “snack” games. We will then work on a REAL mobile game with your class, uploading the game to the app stores so the pupils can show off to their family and friends when they get home!
