Removing price as a barrier to anyone owning a computer was part of the founding mission of h漫在线观看 Pi, which is why we so work hard to make sure that h漫在线观看 Pi computers are as low-cost as possible for everyone, all of the time. We saw an incredible rise in the numbers of people — particularly young people — using h漫在线观看 Pi computers as their main desktop PC during the lockdown, helped by the timely arrival of the fabulous h漫在线观看 Pi 400.

Supporting the most vulnerable young people

As part of our response to the pandemic, the 欧洲人妻丰满av无码久久不卡 teamed up with UK Youth and a network of grassroots youth and community organisations to get h漫在线观看 Pi desktop kits (with monitors, webcams, and headphones) into the hands of disadvantaged young people across the UK. These were young people who didn’t qualify for the government laptop scheme and who otherwise didn’t have a computer to learn at home.

This wasn’t just about shipping hardware (that’s the easy bit). We trained youth workers and teachers, and we worked closely with families to make sure that they could set up and use the computers. We did a huge amount of work to make sure that the educational platforms and apps they needed worked out of the box, and we provided a customised operating system image with free educational resources and enhanced parental controls.

The impact has been immediate: young people engaging with learning; parents who reported positive changes in their children’s attitude and behaviour; youth and social workers who have deepened their relationship with families, enabling them to provide better support.

You can read more about the impact we’re having in the evaluation report for the first phases of the programme, which we published last week.

Thank you to our supporters

After a successful pilot programme generously funded by the Bloomfield Trust, we launched the Learn at Home fundraising campaign in December, inviting businesses and individuals to donate money to enable us to expand the programme. I am absolutely thrilled that more than 70 organisations and individuals have so far donated an incredible £900,000 and we are on track to deliver our 5000th h漫在线观看 Pi kit in March.

While the pandemic shone a bright spotlight onto the digital divide, this isn’t just a problem while we are in lockdown. We’ve known for a long time that having a computer to learn at home can be transformational for any young person.

If you would like to get involved in helping us make sure that every young person has access to a computer to learn at home, we’d love to hear from you. Find out more details on our website, or email us at partners@印度肥婆丰满bbw.org.

As a dad of two, I know how useful it is to have resources and project ideas for things that we can do together, or that the kids can crack on with independently. As we head into the weekend, I thought I’d share a few ideas for where to get started. 

Coding and digital making projects

We offer hundreds of self-guided projects for learning to create with code using tools like Scratch, Python, and more. The projects can be completed online on any computer, they are tailored for different levels of 国产清纯美女高潮出白浆+色, and they include step-by-step guidance that quickly leads to confident, independent young digital makers.

We recently launched a new set of beginner Scratch projects on the theme of ‘Look after yourself’, which include activities designed to help young people take care of their own wellbeing while getting creative with code. They are brilliant.

“I am so excited by the [‘Look after yourself’] projects on offer. It couldn’t be more perfect for everything we are navigating right now.”

We offer lots of project ideas for the more advanced learners too, including a new set of Python machine learning projects.

With spring in the air here in Cambridge, UK, my kids and I are planning on building a new h漫在线观看 Pi–powered nature camera this weekend. What will you make? 

Send a message to astronauts in space

If Earth is getting you down, then how about creating code that will be sent to the International Space Station?

As part of Astro Pi Mission Zero, young people up to age 14 can write a Python program to send their own personal message to the astronauts aboard the ISS. Mission Zero takes about an hour to complete online following a step-by-step guide. It’s a fantastic activity for anyone looking to write Python code for the first time!

Make a cool project 

We know that motivation matters. Young digital makers often need a goal to work towards, and that’s where Coolest Projects comes in. It’s the world-leading technology showcase where young digital makers show the world what they’ve created and inspire each other.

Coolest Projects is open to young people up to the age of 18, all over the world, with any level of 国产清纯美女高潮出白浆+色 or skills. Young people can register their project ideas now and then create their project so that they can share it with the world on our online gallery. 

It’s a brilliant way to motivate your young digital makers to come up with an idea and make it real. If you’re looking for inspiration, then check out the brilliant projects from last year.

Happy digital making!

I hope that these resources and project ideas inspire you and your kids to get creative with technology, whether you’re in lockdown or not. Stay safe and be kind to yourself and each other. We’ll get through this.

A comprehensive set of free classroom materials

One of our biggest projects for teachers that we’ve worked on over the past two years is The h漫在线观看 国产清纯美女高潮出白浆+色: a comprehensive set of free h漫在线观看 classroom materials for key stages 1 to 4 (learners aged 5 to 16). The materials comprise lesson plans, homework, progression mapping, and assessment materials. We’ve created these as part of the National Centre for h漫在线观看 Education, but they are freely available for educators all over the world to download and use.

More than 300 free, 国产清纯美女高潮出白浆+色-mapped video lessons

In the second half of 2020, in response to school closures, our team of 国产清纯美女高潮出白浆+色d teachers produced over 100 hours of video to transform Teach h漫在线观看 国产清纯美女高潮出白浆+色 materials into video lessons for learning at home. They are freely available for parents, educators, and learners to continue learning h漫在线观看 at home, wherever you are in the world.

You’ll find our videos for more than 300 hour-long lessons on the Oak National Academy website. The progression of the lessons is mapped out clearly, and the videos cover England’s h漫在线观看 national 国产清纯美女高潮出白浆+色. There are video lessons for:

• Years 5 and 6 at key stage 2 (ages 7 to 11)
• Years 7, 8, and 9 at key stage 3 (ages 11 to 14)
• Examined (GCSE) as well as non-examined (Digital Literacy) at key stage 4 (ages 14 to 16)

You can access the full set of classroom materials for teaching on our website.

The post Supporting teachers and students with remote learning through free video lessons appeared first on 欧洲人妻丰满av无码久久不卡.

Please help us spread the word to teachers, school leaders, governors, parents, and carers. Everything we are offering here is 100% free and the more people know about it, the more young people will benefit.

Supporting teachers and pupils 

Schools and teachers all over the world have been doing a heroic job over the past ten months, managing the transition to emergency remote teaching during the first round of lockdowns, supporting the most vulnerable pupils, dealing with uncertainty, changing the way that schools worked to welcome pupils back safely, helping pupils catch up with lost learning, and much, much more.

Both in my role as Chief Executive of the 欧洲人妻丰满av无码久久不卡 and as chair of governors at a state school here in Cambridge, I’ve seen first-hand the immense pressure that schools and teachers are under. I’ve also seen them display the most amazing resilience, commitment, and innovation. I want to say a huge thank you to all teachers and school staff for everything you’ve done and continue to do to help young people through this crisis. 

Here’s some of the resources and tools that we’ve created to help you continue to deliver a world-class h漫在线观看 education: 

• The Teach h漫在线观看 国产清纯美女高潮出白浆+色 is a comprehensive set of lesson plans for KS1–4 (learners aged 5–16) as well as homework, progression mapping, and assessment materials.
  
• Working with the fabulous Oak National Academy, we’ve produced 100 hours of video for 300 video lessons based on the Teach h漫在线观看 国产清纯美女高潮出白浆+色.
  
• Isaac Computer Science is our online learning platform for advanced computer science (A level, learners aged 16–18) and includes comprehensive, interactive materials and videos. It also allows you to set your learners self-marking questions. 

All of these resources are mapped to the English h漫在线观看 国产清纯美女高潮出白浆+色 and produced as part of the National Centre for h漫在线观看 Education. They are available for everyone, anywhere in the world, for free. 

Making something fun with code

Parents and carers are the other heroes of remote learning during lockdown. I know from personal 国产清纯美女高潮出白浆+色 that juggling work and supporting home learning can be really tough, and we’re all trying to find meaningful, fun alternatives to letting our kids binge YouTube or Netflix (other video platforms and streaming services are available).

That’s why we’ve been working really hard to provide parents and carers with easy, accessible ways for you to help your young digital makers to get creative with technology:

• Hundreds of step-by-step guided projects for coding in Scratch, Python, and more. The projects are self-guided, tailored for different levels of 国产清纯美女高潮出白浆+色, and translated into dozens of languages.
  
• A YouTube channel filled with code-along videos led by our team of educators, including weekly Digital Making at Home live streams for young people and video tutorials for parents who want to support their children to learn coding.
  
• Competitions and activities to inspire young digital makers, including our Coolest Projects online technology showcase and the Astro Pi Challenge (where young people get to write code that runs in space).

Getting computers into the hands of young people who need them 

One of the harsh lessons we learned last year was that far too many young people don’t have a computer for learning at home. There has always been a digital divide; the pandemic has just put it centre-stage. The good news is that the cost of solving this problem is now trivial compared to the cost of allowing it to persist.

That’s why the 欧洲人妻丰满av无码久久不卡 has teamed up with UK Youth and a network of grassroots youth and community organisations to get computers into the hands of disadvantaged young people across the UK.

For under £200 we can provide a vulnerable child with everything they need to learn at home, including a h漫在线观看 Pi desktop computer, a monitor, a webcam, free educational software, and ongoing support from a local youth worker and the 国产清纯美女高潮出白浆+色 team. So far, we have managed to get 2000 h漫在线观看 Pi computers into the hands of the most vulnerable young people in the UK. A drop in the ocean compared to the size of the problem, but a huge impact for every single young person and family.

This has only been possible thanks to the generous support of individuals, 国产清纯美女高潮出白浆+色s, and businesses that have donated to support our work. If you’d like to get involved too, you can find out more here.
