Extra-Curricular Computing

Mayfield prides itself on the wide range of extra-curricular clubs that are on offer. Here is a flavour of some of the STEM, Coding and Engineering activities that are available:

Junior Tech Club

This club focuses on STEM projects including 3D printing, robotics, CAD, TinkerCAD (3D CAD design software) to design and build micro drone frames.

Minecraft

Code Builder for Minecraft allows pupils to explore and create. Partnering with familiar learn-to-code platforms like ScratchX, Tynker and Microsoft MakeCode, the girls build programmes that can spawn animals, construct buildings, alter game settings, or interact with personal agents.

Lego Spike

Developing skills learnt during their DLT lessons, the girls focus on a bigger project using Lego SPIKE Prime. This uses coding language based on Scratch and Python to combine bricks with a programmable multi-port Hub.
