Raspberry Pi and Braided Careers: New Approaches to Tech Education
Two innovative programs, sponsored by Salesforce and Skyscanner, aim to enhance computing education and address the shortage of computing teachers.
Salesforce is funding a scheme to upskill and train teachers, marking its 25th anniversary in Dublin with a $1 million grant to Raspberry Pi.
- Raspberry Pi will develop and run a free computer science curriculum in Ireland.
- The program will focus on Delivering Equality of Opportunity in Schools (DEIS) schools, ensuring equitable access to computer science education.
The schemes could prove valuable in helping to tackle the shortage of computing teachers.
