Games design transition project

Kincorth Academy and its associated primaries had an existing transition project with a health and wellbeing focus but wanted to add an element to it to demonstrate the skills and abilities of P7 learners with modern technology. Using Scratch, learners in the Kincorth cluster have produced a variety of games which demonstrate a number of CfE experiences and outcomes.

Supported by the Education Scotland Consolarium, staff have developed a games design programme for learners which resulted in the production of a number of computer games. This session looks at the experiences of both teachers and learners during the project and at how both primary and secondary practitioners were able to support learners and each other.
