Through learning in the sciences, young people develop their interest in, and understanding of, the living, material and physical world. They engage in a wide range of collaborative investigative tasks, which allows them to develop important skills to become creative, inventive and enterprising adults in a world where the skills and knowledge of the sciences are needed across all sectors of the economy.

Computing
Digital devices are all around us and they'll play a huge part in our future, from helping us to diagnose and treat illness, to assisting referees in sports, to recording and transmitting the latest information and news.
Scotland has a strong tradition of excellence and innovation in technological research. Scotland's people need to be skilled in technologies and to be aware of the impact of technologies on society and the environment, now and in the future. Learning in the technologies provides a strong foundation for the development of skills and knowledge which are, and will continue to be, essential in maintaining Scotland's economic prosperity.
