This seminar considered the future of computing education and teaching in England.
It followed the introduction of the new computing curriculum in September 2014, and came after government's announcement to provide £3.6m worth of funding to place technology experts, from firms such as O2 and Google, into schools. Delegates considered the impact of the Computing at School project, which aims to create a network of 400 'master teachers' by the end of 2015, and what further steps might be taken to encourage graduates into computing teaching.
Those in attendance were also invited to discuss measures to encourage more young people into the digital industries, including the anticipated launch of the National College for Digital Skills in 2015.
