This meeting is ideal for teachers who are new to programming and want to discover more about it or have done a little and would like to try some more. This year we have introduced Python programming to Our Lady's pupils from Year 7 to Year 10. Come along to the meeting if you want to discover if it is for you, to meet other interested teachers, discover different ways of teaching it or maybe you are just curious.
No previous programming knowledge is required.
Free learning resources will be provided to take away
