It is all part of a €3.2 million European Union initiative, entitled No One Left Behind, which is set to run over two-and-a-half-years.
Students aged eight to 17 will be responsible for programming and designing games linked to subjects including science, maths, history and English.
Key aims for the project will be to develop academic ability, computational proficiency, creativity and social skills.
The project will adapt the mobile programming environment “Pocket Code”, which allows users to create games, animations and interactive music videos directly on their phone or tablet, for academic curricula.
It is being run by a consortium of European educationalists, computer scientists and video game designers. In the UK, Nottingham Trent University is one of the key partners.
