Get Coding with KRCS
22nd October 2026 | 1330 - 1600 | Picknalls First School
In association with Picknalls First School part of Innovate2Educate Partnership, 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 Sphero programmable robots and you'll get your pupils coding in the classroom with confidence, the very next day.
Discover practical classroom strategies and the power of Apple Swift Playgrounds 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.
