In partnership with
We have worked with Raising Aspirations In Science Education (RAiSE) and the City of Glasgow College to develop a suite of teaching resources, that link with Second Level CfE outcomes, and can be delivered in a block of lessons in the classroom. Primary school pupils will learn entrepreneurial and digital skills while identifying potential new career opportunities in the digital health and social care sector.
Pupils are challenged to research common health and care challenges and come up with ideas that could be transformed into a digital health and care solution.
Bonus points will be awarded if your idea has a positive impact on our environment and supports efforts to reach net carbon zero.
Pupils will develop their ideas before submitting their final presentation videos to be reviewed by our panel of judges with winners and runners-up being selected to attend our prize-giving event.
Not only will they receive certificates, but #DigiInventors goodie bags and some great tech prizes!
