Our Year 5 girls had an unforgettable experience this week as they took part in Equal Trust’s very first “Girls Can Code” initiative, hosted by Nottingham Trent University’s Department of Computer Science.
From the moment they arrived, the excitement was clear. The girls were welcomed into a real university environment, exploring state-of-the-art computing facilities, including a robotics lab and a virtual reality development space, giving them a glimpse into the future of technology and innovation.
During the visit, the girls took on the challenge of designing and coding their own retro-style arcade games. They explored how games are built from the ground up, learning key programming skills while also developing creativity and problem-solving.
