title: Creative learning and computational thinking across the curriculum
---
I would like to do a talk about young digital volunteers helping with creative learning and computational thinking in schools in Wales. I will have case studies telling the journey of a number of different volunteers so far and the benefits of volunteering. I will also have anecdotes of how informal learning in after school coding clubs have developed children's ability to learn creatively and use computational thinking techniques. I have photos (including one club which was mostly girls) and a video of a club in Woodlands Community Primary school in Torfaen which has an interview with the associate head teacher who advocates coding in schools.

This session will be about how new pedagogic practices in education are nothing new in the creative and tech industries, and how a mind shift towards computational thinking and creative learning will help teachers role out the new Digital Competence Framework. The session will include anecdotes from my time teaching media and video production and running after school coding clubs, videos and samples of how to code with beginners in the classroom.
