Welcome to ComputerXplorers South West Scotland!

ComputerXplorers offers children specialist technology based education in their own school or nursery. This may be in our after-school computing clubs, STEM sessions, our Programming and Coding days or a variety of daily classes aligned to Curriculum for Excellence during the school day.

We also provide an innovative way for schools to cover planned absences such as McCrone time or teacher training days.

Our classes are the optimum blend of fun and education designed to capture the imagination, spark a child's creativity and prepare them for a technology-driven future.

We work with hundreds of software titles and an amazing array of peripherals covering everything from programming and coding, the innovative application of IT, creative digital literacy and e-safety. Take a look at Some of our Programmes below to find out more.
