A lovely end to the day…a real pleasure to meet @e_balatsou - one of our #studyukalumniawards winners - and to learn about @GirlsWhoCode and their fab initiatives. Looking forward to finding opportunities to work together. @AAndritsou sorry you missed the photo! @BritishCouncil

Last day of the week today and election day in Greece. So I thought I'd leave you with a few of my favourite quotes as inspiration.

[Greek Girls Code @GreekGirlsCode]

@technolagnos You know, there are days like this when O really wonder who enjoys these games more, me or the little ones 😄

[Greek Girls Code @GreekGirlsCode]

It is very exciting to see little children grasping mathematical, engineering, or coding concepts through toys, without the "this is hard" baggage.

[Greek Girls Code @GreekGirlsCode]

@technolagnos Seems great! I hadn't seen it before. We've had lots of fun with the Lego Duplo train which also uses coloured blocks to introduce children to algorithmic thinking.

[Greek Girls Code @GreekGirlsCode]

@amdespotopoulou That being said I was really excited when this book series was translated in Greek.

[Greek Girls Code @GreekGirlsCode]

I also absolutely love books such as this. Because #coding doesn't always require a computer.

[Greek Girls Code @GreekGirlsCode]

@amdespotopoulou The upside is that at this age no-one really expects children to know how to read so the only thing you need to read are the instructions to the parents. The children then "code" through drawing.

[Greek Girls Code @GreekGirlsCode]

@amdespotopoulou So true. I've actually heard people say that you don't really understand something unless you can explain it to a 5 year old.
