What a fantastic day at @raspberrypiorg.bsky.social with so many great people from the world of computing education. Considering what we should be teaching our children about #AI in schools here in the UK. Massive thanks to @janewaite.bsky.social @suesentance.bsky.social @katharinechilds.bsky.social

New paper alert! What We Talk About When We Talk About K-12 Computing Education looks at why we teach computing and proposes four traditions for computing education at the school level : algorithmic, scientific, societal and design-making. Read moreL computingeducationresearch.org/blog-why-tea...

I've been thinking about reviewer workload in computing education research, so I wrote up my thoughts into a blog post: academiccomputing.wordpress.com/2025/01/22/r... Shorter review forms, shorter papers, reducing discussion - plus some more dramatic ideas.

How is Finland teaching AI in schools? New blog on a talk given by Matti Tedre, currently visiting us at @rpcerc.bsky.social: computingeducationresearch.org/blog-develop...

If you're a primary teacher and have recently used the micro:bit in school we'd love to hear from you! Follow the link below!

Looking forward to @suesentance.bsky.social’s talk today at @uofgcompsci.bsky.social about @rpcerc.bsky.social and their projects including broadening participation, AI education, programming education, and many timely and exciting topics!

We've arrived - a new BlueSky account for all of us working on computing education research at the University of Cambridge and Raspberry Pi Foundation :)

The Micro:bit Educational Foundation just launched micro:bit #CreateAI 🎉! microbit.org/ai/. I love it for playful, physical & creative learning about ML. Use movement data to train/test a model, then use that model in #MakeCode to make an AI thing! Mad excited to see what people make! #microbit

Delighted to share our #CSEd paper on a pair programming intervention with primary school pupils. Although girls’ confidence and engagement increased, the lack of attitude changes highlights systemic barriers to making computing more inclusive for girls. ijcses.org/index.php/ij...
