PRIMM

To support effective learning our cross-curricular resources incorporate the PRIMM approach (Predict, Run, Investigate, Modify, Make), guiding students through a structured process to develop their programming skills. This method supports deeper understanding by encouraging learners to explore, adapt, and create with confidence.

Semantic Waves

Our cross-curricular resources are designed to follow the concept of semantic waves, helping students move between abstract ideas and concrete examples. This approach deepens understanding by encouraging learners to connect theory with practice, making complex concepts more accessible and meaningful.
