Hope all educators are enjoying their summer break from school, wherever they are and whatever they're doing! Between me the Computing HoD, my wife the specialist cancer nurse and our three (challenging) sprogs, feel like we've definitely earned this time away! #sunloungermodeengaged #teamcompsci

Sat in the garden listening to the birds singing away, seeing the clouds skud over, getting some work done for school and unfortunately I get the regular magnificent sound of Jet Turbines overhead as I get to see the aircraft taking off from EGGP! Glorious!
Sending good vibes for GCSE CS tomorrow!

Sue is so very deserving of this - #PRIMM Is a beautiful coalescence of elements that many educators have found to have worked when teaching programming. Sue has also been a prominent figure (from afar) in my journey too as a computing educator, plus she is a genuinely nice person! Hurrah!

Had an amazing day at @raspberrypiorg.bsky.social HQ for an AI Educator and Research Symposium. We had such a positive group of educators driving forward how AI should be taught in our schools. It's worth looking up Kelly Shiohira of UNESCO and Prof Matti Tedre of Finland to see why! #TeamCompSci
