Laura Kerr from the East Dunbartonshire Glow team sent me this wonderful piece of news about how Glow was used to help run a fantastic authority-wide Easter event.
“On the run up to Easter, pupils in East Dunbartonshire were given the opportunity to participate in an Easter Egg-stravaganza challenge. Pupils were set the challenge through Glow to design an Easter product, design packaging and create branding for the product. With over 160 entries from 11 different schools, the standard was exceptional. Entries were uploaded to the glow group by each participating school and our Chocolatier judge had the difficult task of picking the winners.
7 lucky winners from 4 schools were announced via Glow Meet and they had the opportunity to visit a real chocolate factory! The children came together for the morning and talked about their entries with others while making friends from schools across the authority. They had a tour of the factory, watched the experts at work and even had the chance to make their own chocolates to take home.
Craigdhu Primary, the overall winners of the competition, 
received a donation from the chocolate factory of a 40KG Egg! They are currently in the process of raffling tickets to win the egg and raise money for another Interactive Whiteboard.
What an experience the pupils and teachers had although, there wasn’t an Oompa Loompa in sight!”
