Meta skills or meta competencies are higher-order cognitive skills such as Creativity, Self-awareness & Resilience that create adaptive learners and act as a key to unlock the development of other technical skills.

Imagine you are building a giant LEGO castle with friends, but instead of being in the same room, you are all in different houses. How would you work together? That is a bit like online collaboration! By practicing good online collaboration and etiquette, you are not just being a good classmate – you are being a good digital citizen of the world! Every time you collaborate online or join a video call, you have the chance to make the internet a better place.

Tweens create Ethical Tale based games and animations on MIT Scratch3.0 coding platform, one of the most popular programs in primary schools on the National curriculum.
