Students today need technology skills to succeed in the future. More than half of today's jobs require some technology skills, and that percentage is expected to rise to 77% within a decade. To prepare students, schools need to empower them with devices running Windows 10 that are durable for student use and have long battery life. These devices provide access to apps and programs that help students learn skills in STEM fields through hands-on activities in school clubs and at home.

- Welcome Purpose of slide Make your introduction Explain that times are changing in the world around us. We are at the start of the 4th Industrial Revolution in data, science Examples are companies like Uber, AirBnB The growth in areas such as the Internet of Things, IoT, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning These are all things that are shaping our world today. Important point We realise in Primary the STEM / CS can be a hard topic to deliver in an amazingly busy world, but Microsoft in Partnership with organizations like Computing at School has brought you some great classroom tools, lesson plans and activities which you can use today. The next slide introduces you the 4th Industrial Revolution [Video] We have also created some amazing teacher resources / CPD to help you deliver this – and more importantly have FUN will you do !
- The Skills Gap Point of Slide Showcase the growth in the skills gap for technology skills at present 50% of todays job require technology skills In less than a decade this is set to rise to 77% We need to make sure we give students the opportunity, to engage in STEM who may not show initial interest by making it fun & asocial experience
- Point of Slide What is STEM STEM stand for Science Technology Engineering Maths We are concentrating on bringing the excitement and fun to the Technology aspect of STEM Technology side spans Digital Literacy Skills and also Computer Science Microsoft have a great range of tools and products to help this happen in your class
- Paint 3D Point of Slide Explain that Paint3d is part of Windows 10 Creators Update Students can design and create in 3 dimensions ! Easy to use ‘not many complicated menus’ Ideal to work with 3D printers
- Paint 3d screen Point of Slide Explain the simplicity of the layout of the screen Menu along the top 2D, 3D etc Explain Remix 3D community Next slide is a video demo of Paint 3D If your feeling confident dip out of the SlideDeck and demo Paint 3d in your own
- Kodu GameLab Point of Slide Explain Kodu is an engaging tool to get students into coding It builds XBOX style platform games which kids can relate to as ‘real-world’ Simple to code with a When & Do style action Explain the When [I tell the character to do something] Do this [Action] Worlds are 3D and can contain objects which can also be coded. KODU is free and can be downloaded now from http://kodugamelab.com
- Kodu world A Kodu world can contain many objects Trees Castles Factories Water Couds Characters Characters can then be created and coded using the simple Kodu commands Next Slide is a video demo of coding in Kodu – feel free to switch desktops and show a real demo if you require.
- Minecraft Education Editon Purpose of slide Explain Minecraft:EE is the education edition of the popular game which is used by over 40 million daily users Backed up by dedicated Minecraft:EE website htttp://education.minecraft.net Students can show following skills through a range of lesson plans & activities Creative thinking Problem solving Critical thinking Collaboration Minecraft:EE can be used to solve engineering projects or social challenges

- Makecode.com Point of slide Hands on Computing for education Various coding engines are available to work with hands on physical hardware like the Arduino board. Home of the BBC Microbit Students can use the Block editor or if they want use a basic JavaScript editor (Block more likely in Primary but shows differentiating the learning)
- MakeCode.com Point of slide Show easy screen layout Simulator – simulates the output of the Microbit so students can test code without a Microbit connected Drawers – the middle drawers show the block commands available Canvas – on the right shows the coding area which is created by dragging blocks out from the drawers Explain the two lines of code when the user presses Button A then show the heart shaped icon When you click the screen will update to show the Makecode projects Talk about the range of created resources which already exist in Makecode.com call out examples like the watch and the milky monster! Next video is a demo of using MakeCode.com Remember if you want live demo feel free
- A quick demo on using MakeCode.com Explaining that MakeCode is the home of physical computing for students of different ages. Also explain the different coding engines that we have available.
