DiscoG Coding Academy

Apple turns 50. But its story isn’t just about products, it’s about curiosity, tinkering, and learning by doing. From the Apple I to today’s AI-driven world, this post explores what young people can learn from Apple’s journey, and why coding, electronics, and hands-on problem-solving matter more than ever.

In Issue 3 of our journey to BETT 2027, we share how we are building dashboards within HelloDiscoG to make student learning visible across schools. This month focused on supporting teachers, school leaders, and trusts with clearer insight into progress, reducing manual tracking and improving how learning is understood and acted on in real classroom settings.

Following our initial planning, February has been a month of deep architectural work and pedagogical refinement. In this second issue of our journey to the Bett Show 2027, we share our progress on building the HelloDiscoG Lesson Builder, mapping content to GCSE specifications, and our commitment to Learning Experience Design to ensure our platform truly supports classroom teaching.

In January 2027, we will be exhibiting at the Bett Show in London. This post marks the start of a monthly series documenting our journey to Bett 2027, sharing our priorities, progress, and preparation over the next 12 months as we get ready to present HelloDiscoG to the wider education community.

Our first Student Voices Talking Points cycle asked students to explore a big real-world question: could AI replace human doctors? Read the winning piece and top finalists, written by young learners developing coding, critical thinking, and digital confidence.
