About this event
*U.K. based schools only - located in the areas of South Wales , Gloucestershire and North Bristol*
Software engineers are the brains behind our everyday software, from your favourite app to your favourite computer game. Once pupils start to learn about writing code their imagination can become a reality.
This coding workshop will run for 1 1/2 hours and will take place over Microsoft Teams. (you don't need to have MS Teams account to access the workshop).
Pupils will use online Scratch – a graphical programming tool created by MIT to inspire the next generation of software engineers, to create their very own version of Pong.
Who's the workshop for?
- Key stage 2 pupils: year 5 or 6 (class size of up to 30 max)
What will the workshop include?
- Introduction to Renishaw and what we do.
- What software engineers do in our company?
- Create an interactive game using scratch
To have the best experience your class will need access to:
- Each pupil will need a computer or laptop with an internet browser installed (Chrome, IE).
- A good, stable, Internet connection.
- A mouse for each pupils P.C. (not essential but makes the experience better)
- The teacher’s laptop will need access to Microsoft Teams and will need the ability for their screen to be projected onto a screen/TV for the class to see.

Renishaw is a global, high precision metrology and healthcare technology group.
We are also a world leader in the field of additive manufacturing (also referred to as metal 3D printing), where we design and produce industrial machines that ‘print' parts from metal powder. From transport to agriculture, electronics to healthcare, our breakthrough technology transforms product performance.
Additive Manufacturing, or more commonly known as 3D Printing is becoming commonly used in manufacturing and medical industries
Organiser Renishaw Education Outreach
Organiser of Online led Coding workshops for primary schools
Renishaw's Education outreach team brings these clear and positive messages into schools and colleges in Gloucestershire, Bristol and South Wales, and to universities throughout the country.
Our proactive education outreach programme is designed to excite, to interest and engage students in a range of engineering activities. Our aim is to provide real insight into the vibrant world of engineering, and careers based on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) subjects.
The great engineers of tomorrow are students in our schools today. With the help of primary and secondary school teachers (and parents…) in Gloucestershire, South Gloucestershire, Bristol and South Wales, we want to find them. This country needs more engineers. Renishaw needs more engineers!
Renishaw's Education Outreach programme offers local schools a range of activities designed to inspire young students to engage in engineering and consider it as a future career option. You never know, they might want to work at Renishaw one day.
Our comprehensive education outreach activities are completely free and aimed at Year 5 - 13. Our goal is to bring real-world context and added value to schools' science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) curricula.
