​FUZE computing workshops run for a full school day and can be structured to suit requirements. The day can be any combination of 45 minute, one hour and or two hour sessions.  We need about 10 minutes between each session to reset and prepare for the next.

FUZE specialises in teaching text based coding from KS2 and above. Actually we teach students as young as five so we can also  provide a tailored session to include  late KS1 as part of the day(s) activities. We have enough learning material to accommodate KS3 students on the understanding they are not already proficient in Python.

FUZE introduces students to a coding environment using real programming terms like [LOOP – REPEAT], [IF – THEN – ELSE – ENDIF] along with variables, graphics, audio, digital input and output controls, robotics and interaction with sensors.

This is not a complex environment like C++, JAVA or Python. It is positioned as a stepping stone from the likes of Scratch , to more complex real-world ones. In fact everything taught using FUZE is totally applicable in the real-world, it is just that it is presented in a far more accessible, engaging and fun way.

As you can see, FUZE programs consist of English language commands that are easily understood and identifiable. ​This means not only is it easy for students to learn, but perhaps even more importantly, it is very easy to teach. In fact teachers with no previous experience teaching a text based programming language can easily continue teaching FUZE into fairly advanced stages.

We pride ourselves in delivering the highest standards throughout every session and this is clearly evidenced by our extremely positive testimonials. We leave children inspired, enthused and wanting to do more.

FUZE Workshops can easily be integrated into your curriculum mapping and assessments.

​Pricing can vary depending on the distance and facilities. Please contact us to discuss.

School Testimonials
The following comments  are from school heads, IT teachers, STEM event holders and the press.

​Barrow Hills School
Rarely have I witnessed lessons where the children were that
engaged for that length of time. I went along to see what was
going on and I could not have been happier”
Matthew Unsworth – Head Teacher

Dunmore Primary School
The following day the children were still buzzing from the
experience and haven’t stopped talking about it.
I wholeheartedly recommend.”
Toby West – Specialist Teacher

Ickford Combined School
I can’t praise the FUZE enough and schools looking
for a robust, reliable, easy to use and
exciting tool to teach programming to invest”
John Ronane BA(Hons), MA, MBA, FCoT – Headteacher

Bentley Wood High School for Girls
“With such an easy to pick up language, our students
were controlling robot arms and interacting
with analogue sensors in less than an hour!”
Gavin Calnan, Head of Computing and ICT

Comments from a few young people that have used our FUZE computers:

Ickford Primary School (Ages 10 - 11): 
Boys
“When we first heard that we were doing programming we
thought it was going to be really hard, but now it’s really simple!”

“It practically teaches us, like a teacher,
cause it’s got everything that we need on it.”

“This is more fun than Scratch,
there is more to do and it is much easier.”

Girls 
“I thought it was going to be harder, but it’s pretty easy!”

“There’s lots of different things you can do compared to the computer.”

“I enjoy lighting up the lights, and love controlling it and making it!”

“It makes you feel quite proud - that you’re actually able to do this!”

“It’s built up my confidence.”

Featherstone High School (Ages 14-15):
“It helped me a lot to understand computer science and now I like it!”

“The workshop was fantastic. I wish they could do it again!"

“I now know how to do some coding and how to control the robotic arm and LED. Overall I give it 5 Stars!”
