The session in mind will look at a range of innovative ways Harrow are now using to explore Science/ STEAM. We will explore the before and after to see where our progressional journey has taken us so far and what we hope to see in the future in terms of Primary Science. Particular attention will be paid to how digital technologies have been integrated across the curriculum. For example building AR digestive systems in JigSpace, using Makey Makeys in Science experiments and using Keynote workflows and digital portfolios.

Project work has long been used in K-12 computing education curricula to develop students' computational thinking skills through applied learning. However, it is not enough for students to solve abstract problems with which they feel little connection. We has taken a further step to incorporate computational action into a coursework project by giving students the agency to choose a project title that is connected to their personal interests and is meaningful to them. This approach allows students to experience the role of a software developer or AI engineer, and feel empowered about their ability to make a difference in the world through their skills and knowledge, in turn increasing their motivation to learn more. In this session, hear about our journey to infuse computational action into our project work, the impact it has made to our students, and how you can implement computational action into your programmes too.
