We are conducting a survey exploring the use of making activities in formal STEM education. We are interested in hearing from teachers of learners aged 5-18 based in England, regardless of whether they currently employ making activities in their teaching.

At KCL we are undertaking research looking at how programming is being taught in secondary schools and how exceptional programmers are supported. We are inviting secondary computing teachers in England to complete this survey https://t.co/ZRZ9fXwn2M

With our philanthropic partners, Wipro (a large Indian technology company), we are looking to develop CPD for secondary computing teachers. We want to use the technical resources and expertise of Wipro and want to talk to teachers on best approaches (1/2)

[Alex Hadwen-Bennett @DrHBComputing]

It was a pleasure to be involved with this research!
