Computer science (CS) curriculum reform across the UK has been subject to substantial scrutiny, as it has in many other countries around the world. However, in Wales - one of the four nations in the UK - various political, geographical and socio-cultural issues have historically hindered major educational policy interventions or reforms for CS. In this poster, we highlight the activities and impact of Technocamps, a pan-Wales university-based schools outreach programme founded in 2003. We showcase its wider impact on CS education, practitioners, schools, and learners in Wales over the past 20 years; especially with the start of the new bilingual Curriculum for Wales (Cwricwlwm i Gymru) from September 2022, which includes major reform of CS alongside digital competence as a statutory cross-curricular skill for all learners aged 3-16. |
