Over a course of two days all our Year 8 pupils had the opportunity to participate in an App Development Programme supported by Sentinus.

The purpose of the programme is to encourage key stage three pupils to consider a career in Software Development in response to the current skills shortage in the IT sector.

During the workshop the pupils had developed their own APPS and downloaded them onto tablets. The session enabled the pupils to develop expertise in designing their own software and problem solving on a structured basis. There was also the added benefit that the pupils could continue developing these skills at home by downloading APP INVENTOR.
