Ingenious computing and immersive careers for the next generation. Delivered by Ukie and together with Nintendo UK.
About us
The not-for-profit Digital Schoolhouse programme, together with Nintendo UK, uses play-based learning to engage the next generation of pupils and teachers with the Computing curriculum. Digital Schoolhouse is delivered by the UK games industry trade body Ukie and is supported by the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). Each Digital Schoolhouse is based in a school, college or university environment, and aims to work with a growing network of local primary and secondary teachers to deliver creative and cross-curricular computing lessons using play-based learning. Through this, it supports the Computing programme of study for the national curriculum in a way that leaves pupils and teachers feeling inspired about, and engaged with, computing and the wider creative digital industries. The workshops put theory into practice and help teachers embed it, with ongoing personalised support and continuing professional development (CPD). The programme has been accurately described as a ‘bridge between education and industry’.

Incredible to have Eloise Singer and Lucy Davidson from Singer Studios at our place to show off how their work and VR can revolutionise the classroom, and do grab the free codes they are offering for your school! As you can see one or two of our teachers got to taste the pirate life... (they're all safely back on dry land now. Promise.)
Eloise Singer and Lucy Davidson recently had the pleasure of sharing The Pirate Queen with teachers from across the UK and Ireland as part of Digital Schoolhouse's Ingenuity Day at Ukie. Eloise gave a talk about the development of The Pirate Queen and its rich historical detail, and the exciting potential of the game and VR more widely as a hands-on educational tool. We also enjoyed offering a demo of The Pirate Queen to those in attendance. It’s a very interesting time to be working in VR, and it’s exciting to think of how it can be used to improve learning outcomes for people in education across the world. It was also fantastic to connect with the teams behind Tora and Noun Town and learn about their projects which are also helping to develop educational tools in the VR space. Make sure you check them out! We are still offering educational establishments free codes for The Pirate Queen - if this is of interest to you or someone you know, please get in touch at hello@singerstudios.co.uk. A huge thank you to Digital Schoolhouse and UKIE for making the day happen! #VR #AR #Education #Learning #UKIE #Teaching #ThePirateQueen

You have to love a bit of pixel art!
Throwback to when I was running workshops with local primary schools. All thanks to Digital Schoolhouse - creating our own Space Invaders, and learning how to create pixel art was great fun!

Great article in the The Spectator about using video games in schools (something we are just a little bit keen on here at Digital Schoolhouse) https://zurl.co/ZPTR How have you used games in school and what learning did your pupils come out of it with?
