Information and Expressions of Interest

Would your primary school like to be involved in a major new school's project, launching in October 2023?

The project is called The Unsmart Home and is an immersive, group experience (based around the concept of an escape room) that introduces kids to the fundamentals of coding. 

ZeeZee has eaten too many cookies and now has got the hiccups!

The group must work as a team to solve a series of interactive puzzles in order to cure ZeeZee's hiccups.

Some other key points:

Engagement

The experience takes about 20 minutes, is completed in groups of 5 and is suitable for P4 - P7 year groups.

Budget

Three's Theatre Company are proposing to offer this project to schools for free and are working hard to achieve funding and sponsorship. 

The Unsmart Home and the National Curriculum

This experience is a working example of “The Five Es” highlighted in the current ICT curriculum. Not only this, but it is the perfect opportunity for cross curricular learning as it encourages working together, problem solving, communication and listening skills, and so much more! 

The Unsmart home takes on the introduction to coding with a cross curricular approach and fits within the Thinking Skills and Personal Capabilities Framework. 

It also considers:

  • Team building through problem solving

  • The development of listening comprehension skill.

  • Thinking, problem solving and decision making

  • Working with others

  • Level-appropriate mathematical problem solving

  • The creative expression of ideas

Logistics

The UnSmart Home would be set-up within the school for a week, allowing 150 children to participate in the experience.

Dates

The UnSmart Home will be ready to go on tour in October 2023 and will be touring throughout 23/24.
