Informal learning
There are ample opportunities both locally and online for pupils to learn more about computing. Much of the software and support material for becoming a successful digital creator is available free on the web; some commercial software offers complimentary pupil licences. The web hosts multiple communities where pupils and developers share digital artefacts and learning. Examples include YouTube and the curated MIT ScratchEd. ScratchEd is a support community for educators using Scratch with their pupils. Note that owing to COPPA legislation, pupils need to be 13 to register to use many American-based online communities.
There are opportunities across England for digital creators to meet each other face to face, through events such as Raspberry Jam, Young Rewired State and Coder Dojos. There are also competitions open to pupils, including the University of Manchester Animation competition,
Kodu Kup, Robocup Junior and the Informatics
Olympiad (see the Resources section under Extended learning and competitions for more information).
After-school clubs are an excellent way of harnessing extra enthusiasm in your pupils. They provide an opportunity for pupils to continue programming or to work on particular projects.
