Robots have been helping pupils at a Scottish primary school get creative while learning about computer coding.

Corstorphine Primary School head teacher Neil Stannett launched the Technicoders and Coding Club to try to stimulate interest in technology and computing. The group, which is made up of ten boys and ten girls from P6 and P7, has been meeting every week at the Edinburgh school to learn how to code.

A £3,000 grant from Digital Xtra Fund, a charity whose backers include global IT company CGI, enabled the school to buy new Sphero BOLTs, which are small, ball-shaped robots designed for learning.
