Running TY? Here's your year, sorted.

Planning a full year of digital skills for TY doesn't have to mean piecing resources together and hoping they hold up across the year. Our Year-Long TY Digital Skills Programme gives you a complete year, built from the modules your students actually want to do, arranged around your timetable.

Pick any combination of our 7 TY modules. Run the same pathway for every student, or set different pathways for different groups. Students also get access to the modules they're not doing in class, which is ideal for the keen ones who finish early or want to explore further on their own time.

Prefer a deeper tech focus? Swap in Advanced Coding or Robotics and Automation. Each module is 10 lessons of 40-60 minutes, leaving room for school events, mid-terms and everything else TY throws at you.

Why TY coordinators choose it
One decision, a year's content
No more stitching resources together every term.
Flexible per class, per student
Run different pathways side by side.
Certificates after each module
Great for TY portfolios, open days and reports home.
Sets students up for Senior Cycle
Broad exposure so they choose subjects with confidence.

How Our Digital Skills Curriculum Makes a Difference in the Classroom

Frequently Asked Questions

A full year of coding, robotics and digital skills for every primary class – block coding with Scratch, physical computing with the micro:bit, computational thinking and creative digital projects.

No. Pupils work through the lessons in a web browser – there's nothing to install.

Laptops, Chromebooks, PCs, iPads and Android tablets all work. Pupils can use a device in school or at home to do the activities.

Ideally one device each, but pupils can work in small groups of two or three and share a device where that suits the classroom.

No. The course is built for complete beginners, with an optional introduction module to get started, and every lesson is fully planned so teachers are supported throughout.

Most lessons need only a device and a web browser. Some modules use robotics kits or devices such as the micro:bit – these are flagged on the module, and we can supply them if your school needs them.

No. You decide how much to cover – from a single module across the year to the full set of modules for each class.

Yes. You can set the whole class the same module, or assign different modules to different groups, and pupils who finish quickly can move on to the next level.

Pupils build real projects on their devices – games, animations and physical-computing builds – working at their own pace with the teacher guiding the class.

Pricing per pupil for a full school year:

  • Primary school pupils €10
  • Secondary Junior Cycle students €15
  • Transition Year students €20
  • Leaving Certificate students €30

Yes. The course is covered by the government school book scheme, which provides schoolbooks and core classroom resources free of charge for Primary, Junior Cycle, Transition Year and Senior Cycle students.

The ISBN for the Coding Ireland Digital Skills Curriculum is 978-1-0369-1395-3.
