Introduce children to coding from a young age with the SPIKE App!
Ever wondered why kids love playtime so much? It’s because playing is their natural way of learning and exploring the world around them! Learning Through Play lets children discover new things in a fun and engaging way where they can experiment, solve problems and use their imaginations while building important life skills that are tough to teach with traditional tutoring.
The LEGO Learning System uses the power of game-based learning by combining the bricks and pieces we all know and love with cross-curricular lesson plans that encourage children to dive into the exciting world of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths) through brick building and creative storytelling.

The UK is at the forefront of technological innovation and STEM-qualified professionals are highly sought-after, but far more are needed to ensure companies can keep recruiting people with the skills they need to compete in the 21st century. One way we can address this is by helping to break down the misconceptions that Maths is pointless or Science is boring; to bridge the gap between children from underrepresented communities and ensure that everyone has the chance to shine.
