Learners will become Trainee Agents of DATA to defend Scotland against the villainous high-tech VIKINGS.  They will solve puzzles in time to defeat the evil time-travelling baddies and foil their plans.  The Agents will have to use graphs, charts, maps and logic to uncover the plots and crack the secret codes.
