For Teachers

*ORDINARILY THE FREE RESOURCES  LISTED BELOW ARE TARGETED AT TEACHERS AND PUPILS IN SCOTLAND, BUT BECAUSE OF THE PANDEMIC THEY ARE NOW OPEN TO ALL AND REMAIN FREE FOR ALL*

 

We've created this toolkit to help teachers introduce tech related careers into the classroom. Working with experts, we've created a series of fun and engaging lessons that are easy to deliver and are designed to fit a standard period.

From how to rob a bank through to defending a hospital, and cracking passwords to tracking rhinos (and many more), all our lessons can be found here. So far more than 130,000 pupils and teachers have used them, so they are definitely tried, tested and proven to work.

(These lessons have been designed in such a way that they support the teaching and delivery of learning outcomes from the relevant curricula and qualifications listed below)

FinTech for Schools: Scotland Programme

 

What is the programme?

Taking Place 2-3pm

The vision is to create a programme that drives financial health and wealth: enabling young people to gain access to basic financial know-how and enable and encourage young people to understand the importance of digital and financial know-how for the future. 

The programme will run virtual sessions (lasting about an hour) with schools across Scotland to present an overview of Fintech and the impact Fintech is making (including Fintech for Good).

The sessions will talk about possible careers in Fintech including a call for pupils to consider Fintech as a future career.

The session will be delivered by industry experts, providing an educational overview on some of the hottest trends and topics in Fintech. Students and teachers will be able to connect with Fintech experts and explore the exciting world of Financial Technology.

To support student learning, we have created an app working in partnership across the ecosystem and with key industry leaders – this mobile-first platform enables students and young adults to easily gain access to information that will equip them to:

  1. Manage their own personal finances
  2. Learn about core topics such as open banking, mobile payments, cryptocurrency, and blockchain
  3. Gain insight into the career paths that are available across the FinTech and technology landscape

Included in the app are mini masterclass videos, delivered by industry experts, to provide an educational overview on some of the hottest trends and topics in Fintech.

We would encourage teachers and students to explore the app before the session and afterwards to further educate them around Fintech and related topics.

The sessions will be fun, engaging and allow students to consider career paths they may not be aware of.

Target audience would be S1-S3 but anyone with an interest in find out more about FinTech is welcome.
