Get Coding with KRCS
Wednesday 4th November 2026 | 1330 - 1600 | Lincolnshire Gateway Academy Trust
In association with Lincolnshire Gateway Academy Trust, we invite senior leaders to join us for interactive sessions at our free coding event to celebrate European Code Week.
We’ll take the fear out of the coding curriculum with Swift Playgrounds and Scratch, Delightex Edu, Reality Composer and Sphero. You'll get your pupils coding with confidence the very next day.
Discover practical classroom strategies and the power of coding on iPad. Get creative with Sphero BOLT robotics, and explore the growing role of AI in coding. We’ll also share how training can support your coding journey, before wrapping up with next steps and a Q&A session.
