Why teach computing in school: new paper published! - Raspberry Pi Computing Education Research Centre This week, we've published a paper called 'What We Talk About When We Talk About K-12 Computing Education’ that looks at why we teach computing in school. Find out more about the different views on th...

New paper alert! What We Talk About When We Talk About K-12 Computing Education looks at why we teach computing and proposes four traditions for computing education at the school level : algorithmic, scientific, societal and design-making. Read moreL computingeducationresearch.org/blog-why-tea...

Much easier!

I've been thinking about reviewer workload in computing education research, so I wrote up my thoughts into a blog post: academiccomputing.wordpress.com/2025/01/22/r... Shorter review forms, shorter papers, reducing discussion - plus some more dramatic ideas.

If you're a primary teacher and have recently used the micro:bit in school we'd love to hear from you! Follow the link below!

Looking forward to it too!!

Looking forward to @suesentance.bsky.social’s talk today at @uofgcompsci.bsky.social about @rpcerc.bsky.social and their projects including broadening participation, AI education, programming education, and many timely and exciting topics!

We've arrived - a new BlueSky account for all of us working on computing education research at the University of Cambridge and Raspberry Pi Foundation :)

micro:bit and AI Dive deeper into micro:bit CreateAI

The Micro:bit Educational Foundation just launched micro:bit #CreateAI 🎉! microbit.org/ai/. I love it for playful, physical & creative learning about ML. Use movement data to train/test a model, then use that model in #MakeCode to make an AI thing! Mad excited to see what people make! #microbit

Delighted to share our #CSEd paper on a pair programming intervention with primary school pupils. Although girls’ confidence and engagement increased, the lack of attitude changes highlights systemic barriers to making computing more inclusive for girls.
