4. A Bit of CS4FN - sign-up for UK primary schools 
A Bit of CS4FN is a FREE A5-sized, primary-focused mini version of the Computer Science For Fun (CS4FN)* magazine aimed at younger children (~age 8-12) and their teachers. When we have funding to create and distribute new issues we will send copies of this mini version to UK schools, librarians and home educators. Depending on the issue there are things to read and puzzles to do, usually with an interdisciplinary twist (we know primary teachers often teach all the subjects, not just computing). 

March 2026 - our latest issue will arrive after Easter and is all about Music and AI - have a look at the online version here https://cs4fn.blog/bitof6/ 

A bit of CS4FN's website has many more articles than in the magazine. You can also download free copies of all our previous issues of the mini magazine here.

*CS4FN is a blog and magazine for secondary school pupils and teachers, A Bit of CS4FN is the primary version.
