National Coding Week: Tech for Sport

Join Tech She Can on Tuesday 17th September at 1:30pm, when their Tech She Can Teacher, Poppy, will deliver a free virtual 50 minute Tech We Can LIVE lesson for children aged 7-11.

This will be an interactive session where the students will be guided to complete paper based tasks and partner discussions - they therefore need to be based at a table with a piece of paper and pen/pencil. 

Poppy will highlight the importance of technology in sport, and the vital part it plays in a variety of areas including training athletes, developing sports equipment and supporting inclusion in sports. She will also show some of the tech careers within sports that students could pursue in the future.
