What We Do

Here at U Can Too, we are all about widening the technical skills set of young people. We have developed a range of creative computing workshops that make teaching and learning the computing curriculum fun and engaging for all.

From learning how to code a moving robot to programming software that can collect meaningful data, our computing workshops demonstrate the endless possibilities of using technology to create, design, measure and problem solve.

U Can Too computing workshops can be delivered in the classroom, at events, online or as part of teacher CPD. There are workshops for all levels - beginners, intermediate and advanced. Each has been designed to meet all ages, abilities, and preferred learning outcomes. Most importantly they always remain fun and enjoyable.

Through the creative and exciting outcomes achieved during our workshops, learners develop confidence and a heightened interest in computing and STEM while learning about the broader applications for computing, including links to art, design technology, health monitoring, environmental monitoring, movement and more.

Client feedback

"It was a pleasure to have Su delivering a session as part of her STEM Day. Pupils (and staff!) were thoroughly engaged in the activity and we have even had a pupil in Year 10 decide that they want to pursue a career relating to coding as a result of her session."

"Children were very engaged with the workshop session and gained key skills."

3 Words to describe the workshop: Fun, engaging and inspiring!

"For its size, the micro:bit is an incredible educational tool that helped to control the Crazy Golf Creations. The children thoroughly enjoyed building this and the facilitator was incredible in delivering the sessions. I highly recommend it to anyone looking at this project."

"This course was planned as a reward for our Y11 students who recently won the National Digital day challenge. The students really enjoyed the workshop - it was the right level of challenge, something different to regular learning and was perfect. We would like to have more workshops like this in the future."

You really made this very simple. When I saw the device yesterday, I was feeling very scared about doing MakeCode for the first time. I thought that it would be something very technical, but you made it very, very simple. I loved it!

"The training session was absolutely a complete capsule full of information specially for a beginner like me."

"An absolutely brilliant CPD, creative, inspiring and empowering to our staff. Su teaches with an infectious passion for the subject area supporting all levels of starting knowledge to develop confidently."

Our team recently had the opportunity to participate in a practical workshop that introduced us to the world of do-it-yourself (DIY) technology in a user-friendly manner. During this engaging session, we delved into fascinating topics like making objects light up and generating sounds with the help of sensors, all without the need for technical jargon or complex equipment.

This hands-on experience has not only broadened our horizons but also kindled our enthusiasm for technology in a way that is accessible and relevant to our mission. This training session was led by Su Adams Founder of U Can Too and Computing Curriculum Specialist. Now our staff are in the know, we’re excited to be bringing these skills to our Young People’s Programme. Keep an eye on the programme for future updates and creations.
