#SimonPeytonJones « we started a guerrilla movement #ComputingAtSchool to try and reform our computing curriculum. Rather to our astonishment, we were very successful. The #EnglishNationalCurriculum now explicitly says that all children should learn #ComputerScience from primary school onwards as a foundational discipline […] because an elementary understanding of these foundational concepts enables you to be an empowered #citizen in a complicated world. »
