Coding with Confidence: A Beginner’s Journey for New Teachers Interested in Coding

What will I learn from this course?

• This session is the hello world for teachers considering coding at primary or second level. Its aim is to introduce only a few programming concepts, but more importantly to build confidence around the pedagogical approaches used to teach it. It really is the first step into the world!

• We will use block coding and the BBC Micro:bit and we assume zero prior experience, but also if you have dabbled you are also more than welcome!
