How schools are using Picoh beyond computing lessons 🤖
In the classroom, Picoh can be used to support emotional expression, recognising facial cues, understanding the emotions of others, and collaborating through shared activities and discussion.
Using Scratch, pupils can programme Picoh to express emotions, talk through scenarios from school and home life, and give supportive statements and suggestions around regulating feelings.
What makes Picoh so effective is that it creates engagement straight away, while helping pupils explore important ideas in a practical, age-appropriate way.
🗣️ “Children who were less able to verbalise their current emotions, could more readily do that on Picoh.”
🗣️ “The children, from day one, were incredibly interested in the robot and were engaged immediately!”
🗣️ “It has allowed us to deliver PSHE lessons at an age appropriate level and children were in a PSHE lesson without even knowing it, which was fantastic!”
The impact in the classroom:
• Supports emotional literacy and communication
• Encourages teamwork and shared problem-solving
• Helps pupils explore emotions in a practical, accessible way
• Creates instant engagement
• Brings coding into meaningful real-life contexts
