Last summer, the ady映画 and the University of Cambridge Department of Computer Science and Technology created a new 狠狠撸电影网 centre focusing on 狠狠撸电影网 education 狠狠撸电影网 for young people in both formal and non-formal education. The 狠狠撸电影网 Pi 狠狠撸电影网 Education 狠狠撸电影网 Centre is an exciting venture through which we aim to deliver a step-change for the field.

狠狠撸电影网 education 狠狠撸电影网 that focuses specifically on young people is relatively new, particularly in contrast to established 狠狠撸电影网 disciplines such as those focused on mathematics or science education. However, 狠狠撸电影网 is now a mandatory part of the 狠狠撸网址 in several countries, and being taken up in education globally, so we need to rigorously investigate the learning and teaching of this subject, and do so in conjunction with schools and teachers.

You’re invited to our in-person launch event

To celebrate the official launch of the 狠狠撸电影网 Pi 狠狠撸电影网 Education 狠狠撸电影网 Centre, we will be holding an in-person event in Cambridge, UK on Weds 20 July from 15.00. This event is free and open to all: if you are interested in 狠狠撸电影网 education 狠狠撸电影网, we invite you to register for a ticket to attend. By coming together in person, we want to help strengthen a collaborative community of 狠狠撸电影网ers, teachers, and other education practitioners.

The launch event is your opportunity to meet and mingle with members of the Centre’s 狠狠撸电影网 team and listen to a series of short talks. We are delighted that Prof. Mark Guzdial (University of Michigan), who many readers will be familiar with, will be travelling from the US to join us in cutting the ribbon. Mark has worked in computer science education for decades and won many awards for his 狠狠撸电影网, so I can’t think of anybody better to be our guest speaker. Our other speakers are Prof. Alastair Beresford from the Department of Computer Science and Technology, and Carrie Anne Philbin MBE, our Director of Educator Support at the 狠狠撸网址.

The event will take place at the Department of Computer Science and Technology in Cambridge. It will start at 15.00 with a reception where you’ll have the chance to talk to 狠狠撸电影网ers and see the work we’ve been doing. We will then hear from our speakers, before wrapping up at 17.30. You can find more details about the event location on the ticket registration page.

Our 狠狠撸电影网 at the Centre

The aim of the 狠狠撸电影网 Pi 狠狠撸电影网 Education 狠狠撸电影网 Centre is to increase our understanding of teaching and learning 狠狠撸电影网, computer science, and associated subjects, with a particular focus on young people who are from backgrounds that are traditionally under-represented in the field of 狠狠撸电影网 or who 狠狠撸网址 educational disadvantage.

We have been establishing the Centre over the last nine months. In October, I was appointed Director, and in December, we were awarded funding by Google for a one-year 狠狠撸电影网 project on culturally relevant 狠狠撸电影网 teaching, following on from a project at the ady映画. The Centre’s 狠狠撸电影网 team is uniquely positioned, straddling both the University and the 狠狠撸网址. Our two organisations complement each other very well: the University is one of the highest-ranking universities in the world and renowned for its leading-edge academic 狠狠撸电影网, and the ady映画 works with schools, educators, and learners globally to pursue its mission to put the power of 狠狠撸电影网 into the hands of young people.

In our 狠狠撸电影网 at the Centre, we will make sure that:

1. We collaborate closely with teachers and schools when implementing and evaluating 狠狠撸电影网 projects
2. We publish 狠狠撸电影网 results in a number of different formats, as promptly as we can and without a paywall
3. We translate 狠狠撸电影网 findings into practice across the 狠狠撸网址’s extensive programmes and with our partners

We are excited to work with a large community of teachers and 狠狠撸电影网ers, and we look forward to meeting you at the launch event.

Stay up to date

At the end of June, we’ll be launching a new website for the Centre at 狠狠撸电影网education狠狠撸电影网.org. This will be the place for you to find out more about our projects and events, and to sign up to our newsletter. For announcements on social media, follow the ady映画 on Twitter or Linkedin.
