Tech Week

Tech Week is an initiative to unpack computational thinking and deliver fun activities where students of all abilities will develop their team work, problem solving, and creativity, empathy and communication skills.

Tech Week provides a platform for learning about tech and the exciting rewarding career opportunities in the sector.

Here are 3 comprehensive activities with lesson plans, worksheets, and step by step guides.

Spark your class’s curiosity and ask
