There has been a paradigm shift in global technology curricula away from an education focused on consumption of technology to its creation; empowering a new generation of digital inventors as children learn to program from a young age. In this course we look at the 10 metacognitive skills; along with 5 computational thinking skills which make pupils powerful learners and effective problem solvers with technology. We present 5 signature pedagogies to help foster metacognition and computational thinking. The course also provides practical experience of learning to program in Scratch and Python for pupils aged 7-11.
We are a small yet dynamic institution that holds at its heart the motto that ‘entrepreneurship is a way of thinking and it is for everyone’. We operate in a regeneration area, within a diverse and vibrant community. We strive to make our mark by offering practical education for the needs of the local economy, formal qualifications and personalised guidance.
Our Entrepreneurship Courses for adults incorporate British Values and focus on practical wealth creation. Armed with key skills and one-to-one support from our faculty, our students have gone on to find successful businesses locally and nationally.
