The Annual

Nicholas Banging on about Education Bit again (again)...

Nicholas H.Tollervey / @ntoll

Two Parts:

Teachers (Friday)

Kids (Saturday)

Developers are invited to both!

Part 1: Teachers

Teaching is the one profession that creates all the other professions.

Teaching is a calling (you're certainly not doing it for the money or "perks").

Teaching is the hardest job I've ever had to do.

This Morning

  • Introduction to Python
  • Games programming with PGZero
  • Hacking Minecraft
  • BBC micro:bits
  • Expert teachers leading workshops
  • Raspberry Pi Education team

This Afternoon

  • Adopt a teacher - help solve their problems.
  • Debates & Networking
  • Teachmeet

Developers Welcome!

Part 2: Kids' Day!
