We are working in collaboration with a significant range of local authorities on behalf of the Department for Education to create a highly enriching programme of activities and events. These range from robotics to designing our own computer games, stop motion animation to creating our own mobile apps. It also includes events where the whole family can get involved as these will be delivered online and virtually.
Some exciting news to share from ComputerXplorers HQ, we have just partnered with AppShed to launch our CXA App Academy.
Aiming to inspire the next generation of app developers, the new bespoke eight-week program, teaches students how to build their own apps covering everything from graphic design, user interface design to coding.
The lessons can be delivered as PPA cover, after school clubs, summer holiday camps and more, with everything taught geared towards the national curriculums in England, Scotland, and Wales.
What’s more, the package includes a free annual license to AppShed , which would normally cost up to £380 per year.
