RE: CODE London

We’re proud to announce that our RE: CODE London schools sessions, in partnership with LEGO® Group and the Mayor of London, have won the Cross-Sector Digital Collaboration of the Year category at the Digital Leaders 100 Awards. RE:CODE London is an initiative which provides London’s primary schoolchildren with a coding and robotics-based challenge to encourage them to think critically and help tackle some of our city’s biggest challenges. The sessions give young Londoners aged 9-11 the chance to take on a real-life coding challenge, building their confidence and creative problem-solving skills. Students work in teams to build and code their own LEGO® robot to meet a modern-day challenge, such as cleaning pollution from the River Thames, or tackling London’s air pollution. By the end of 2018 we will have reached over 3,000 schoolchildren. The sessions are part of the Mayor’s London Curriculum, which brings the national curriculum to life through hands-on learning experiences and opens up London to all young people.

A New Reality, in partnership with Rolls-Royce

The theme of ‘reality’ explored children’s capacity to create and engineer ideas and recognised the importance of the past, opening up the tools now available in the present and looking ahead to the future. Working with Rolls-Royce, we brought together STEM (science, technology, engineering, maths) with arts and design, to provide a multidisciplinary lab environment for children to think without boundaries. In our ‘tinker zone’ we explored the beginnings of mechanics and automation through cardboard automata, motors and aerodynamics. In the ‘future zone’, we got a glimpse into the tools we may be using to engineer in the coming years. Using the HTC Vive Virtual Reality headset, children explored engines in a virtual environment, like Rolls-Royce’s Trent 1000. We worked with Google Expeditions to help explain the mechanics of virtual reality and used CoSpaces to allow participants to create content that can be viewed through a cardboard headset.

Partners

“We were delighted to partner with the Institute of Imagination (iOi) to deliver our Pioneer Programme – virtual reality field trips designed with school students in mind. We were involved in many events throughout the year and the iOi was a stand-out. Taking in to account the resource expended, they achieved the highest engagement with the most children. Not only did they deliver the biggest impact they were also a pleasure to work with. We share their passion for sparking young minds, and look forward to working with them again in the future.” Deborah Tamir, Program Manager Google Expeditions UK
