PRIMARY school pupils from across Helensburgh and Lomond are being invited to attend a technology showcase event with their parents.

The event, which will take place in Hermitage Academy on May 7 from 10am until 1.30pm, has been organised by Argyll and Bute Council’s education services team and is intended to be a fun learning event with pupil-led workshops.

The aim of the event is to help equip young people with the necessary skills and knowledge to turn computing ideas into concepts, showcase what can be created through technology and provide additional exciting computer science related learning opportunities. The event also meets a number of key areas in the curriculum for excellence.

A similar event was run in Cowal last year and was attended by around 150 primary pupils and their parents.
