# 🌐 STACS Computing Science BGE Transition Hub ### **Welcome** This resource has been created in partnership with Scottish Teachers Advancing Computing Science to support a smooth transition from **Primary Computing** into **BGE Computing Science**. It is designed for: * Primary teachers delivering early computing experiences * Secondary teachers supporting S1 transition * Non-specialists looking for clear, structured support #### Aim To ensure pupils arrive in S1 with: * Confidence using digital tools * An understanding of basic programming concepts * Experience of problem-solving and logical thinking ### **Primary Foundations (P5–P7)** #### 💡 Key Concepts to Introduce * **Sequence** – instructions in order * **Selection** – making decisions (if/else) * **Iteration** – repeating instructions (loops) * **Variables** – storing information * Follow instructions to draw a picture * Human robot (pupils give step-by-step commands) * Debugging incorrect instructions #### 💻 Suggested Tools (You only need one to get started) * Scratch (block-based programming) * Simple micro:bit tasks * Python textual programmig language --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://upskilling.stacs.scot/physical-computing-l2-bge/stacs-computing-science-bge-transition-hub.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
