Together with Nintendo

Hello!

Welcome to Digital Schoolhouse

Digital Schoolhouse together with Nintendo UK, uses play-based learning to engage the next generation of pupils and teachers with the Computing curriculum. Digital Schoolhouse is delivered by the UK games industry trade body Ukie and is backed by the video games industry and government. Sponsors include PlayStation®, Electronic Arts, SEGA, Ubisoft and Outright Games.

Our ingenious computing workshops are aimed at local primary schools across the UK.

Delivered by our expert network of Schoolhouses and lead teachers, you can experience our unique approach to play-based learning through innovative activities and free adaptable resources. Underpinned by evidence-based research and combined with groundbreaking careers education, the programme successfully bridges the gap between education and industry.

Esports: Transforming Education research 2024

Following on from our first impact report, Esports: Engaging Education in 2018, we would like to re-examine our impact and the effects of esports in education, both on the individual student as well as the wider school community.

Through questionnaires we are collecting responses from teachers and students, as well as the wider school community, including parental attitudes and perceptions.
