This Computing video supports teachers in introducing pupils to the real-world use of RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology. It focuses on how RFID is used at Walt Disney World Resort to transfer data via wristbands, enabling contactless payments, room access, and digital queuing for attractions. The lesson encourages pupils to explore how RFID enhances visitor experience by making processes more efficient and personalised. Pupils analyse real-world queue time data from the theme park and represent it using graphs to understand visitor flow and popular times for rides.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Computing scheme of work – videos. It helps teachers build subject knowledge around data transmission and analysis using authentic contexts. The video prepares teachers to guide pupils in using spreadsheets and charts to draw conclusions from live data, supporting cross-curricular links with maths and geography. The lesson develops pupils’ understanding of how digital systems manage and interpret data, and how technology can be applied to improve real-life services.
