I am currently particularly interested in the development of computational thinking across the lifecourse and in collaboration in software development as a model for learning. This is enacted by development work in the SFI funded project OurKidsCode which aims to change the attitude of parents to STEM when advising their children about subject choices, courses and employment. I am also building the UK National Archive of Educational Computing.
