East Lothian Council has selected LiveCode to be deployed across all secondary schools in the region.

This initiative supports a drive by East Lothian education authority to revolutionise the way computer science is taught in secondary schools by ensuring students gain a practical insight into computer studies. The deployment took place in stages over the course of 2012.

Steven Whyte is a Computer Studies Teacher at Gracemount High School in Edinburgh, Scotland. He has been teaching a course using LiveCode to his Standard Grade and Higher students, ages 13 -18, with the course fulfilling all requirements needed to teach programming to exam level.

Students responded so well to LiveCode that for the first time, Steven has multiple classes at higher (senior) levels.

Teaching programming with LiveCode to students ages 13-18

My name is Cyril Pruszko and I teach at one of the top science and technology schools in the state of Maryland, USA. Half of the students have to pass a test and compete to get into our school, the other half are comprehensive students from the surrounding area. I wanted to attract more students to the field of computers and introduce them to the joy and the challenges of programming.
