Teachers aren’t getting much in the way of training to implement the new cirriculum - they need help. Often get a 1 day course in Python and then expected to teach it, and teach others. Lots of teachers frightened by stuff they don’t know.

Many schools don’t have computer rooms any more. Instead:

• snap on iPad
• scratch on android, anything
• python anywhere in your browser

Code camps?

• hard to get lots of teachers at a weekend
• weekday CPD (continuing professional development) easier to do
• code camp in holiday, teachers can bring kids
