Workshop

Tech for Learning

A virtual live lesson on 2 July for students aged 7 to 11 highlighting how technology is transforming the way we learn, and what careers are available.

Tech for Learning

Join Tech She Can on Wednesday 2 July at 2pm, when their Tech She Can Teacher, Katie, will deliver a free virtual 50 minute Tech We Can LIVE lesson for students aged 7 to 11 years old.

In this lesson, students will explore how technology is transforming the way we learn, making education more engaging, accessible, and exciting. They'll discover real-world examples of tech for learning, from educational games to holographic teachers.

Through discussions and activities, the session is designed to introduce students to exciting future career possibilities in this area and to inspire them to imagine how they could shape that future.

This will be an interactive session where 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 or pencil.

The content is ideal for the classroom environment, hall, or from home.
