Supporting Teachers and Learners

Arm technology is in billions of devices – from supercomputers, mobile phones, and cars to small computers from a vast range of ecosystem partners. Many of these devices, including micro:bit, Raspberry Pi and Arduino, are popular in education. The Arm School Program works with education and technology partners to support teachers and learners in STEM and computing education. Discover our range of professional learning support for teachers, plus our teaching and learning resources, which are linked to the computer science curriculum.

Communities of Practice for Teachers

Arm is proud to support two growing communities of practice, which help teachers in applying a combination of project-based learning and physical computing to teach STEM and Computing. Physical computing devices, such as the Micro:bit and devices from Arduino and Raspberry Pi, encourage learners to experience the subject as creative and social experiences, as well as a means of solving real-world problems.

 

Members of each community can:

 

  • Enjoy the opportunity to network with peers, to share their own experiences, to discuss challenges of teaching, and expand their knowledge and understanding.
  • Join online events.
  • Gain Arm-branded digital badges the more involved you become in the community.
