🎮Playful Computing Conference 2025 🎮
We're taking time today to look back on this year's brilliant Playful Computing Conference.
It's great to see our vibrant community coming together to shape the future of learning through play! ✨
With insightful talks and interactive workshops, the conference ignited countless new ideas and built crucial connections, propelling innovation between the education and video game industries forward into 2026.

Fantastic day at the Playful computing conference with @DigSchoolhouse great to be able to make some fantastic connections that will benefit learners. #makelearningfun
Thanks to @SlyFlourish for the DND grant. The school club have been really enjoying getting stuck into #TTRPG and getting to use the different things we bought with the money following a vote by all the members.
Fantastic afternoon at the Global infrastructure and built environment showcase. Pupils did amazing sharing their work. Lots of great conversations about new pathways and courses and how other schools can pick this course up. #GIBE #AIMHigher

Today was a fantastic day. It's always great to hear how previous students are doing. Having been fortunate to teach Clara some years ago Graphics at Higher and Advanced Higher it was amazing to see how those fundamentals taught then support the innovative work she does now.
Clara Ghattas a Junior Composite Designer @AstonMartinF1 came in to speak to our students today. Great hearing her journey, what it's like to work at such a fantastic place and how the things she learnt at school including resilience has supported her to this dream job #AIMHigher

This is a recording of a free webinar I hosted for parents and carers, focusing on effective (and ineffective) study strategies that can be used at home to support your child with their learning. Please feel free to share widely if you think it's useful! youtube.com/watch?v=2FLodJng…

#pedagoofriday very glad we introduced #esports @newbattlehigh during a walkthrough this week two of the L6 eSports class spoke to @NewbattleCHSHT about how the course supports their learning of eSports and games as well as the links, progression and pathways into industry – at Mayfield, Scotland
Day 2 of #VIZTOBER and it's a bike using only a mouse. I really liked the unique mudguard on the back. I think the 3D model would have come out better with the background removed or a different colour for higher contrast. Would be cool to 3D print each of these @Vizcom_ai – at Scotland, United Kingdom
