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.

 

We incorporate an active and creative component in each day

 

This can include designing maps and characters with pen and paper before coding them or creating an awesome racetrack outside for our robots to race on!
