    No more than 3 hours of screen time per day

    We run computing clubs in primary schools throughout Edinburgh, so we understand the importance of creating a healthy relationship with technology.

    Our mission is to help develop thriving digital citizens of the future. As such, our screen time commitment is no more than 3 hours of screen time per day.
