Our Staff Digital Leaders at the @VISS_UAE primary campus love having a play with our digital and innovation equipment. Our final session before we start consulting and training our primary teachers in how to further implement Digi Tech, STEM and coding into their curriculums.

Great to host Rahab Rajab, Head of Education Apple ME at @VISS_UAE today to talk all things #coding #AppleEDUchat #codinglife #STEMed #edchatMENA
