After the successful launch of the first event in our new series of 'What the Research says Seminars', we announce the second in the series Computer science and computational thinking in the classroom - what the Research says? This will be held at the London Knowledge Lab on Friday 27th April, further programme details are available on this website under events.

We are delighted to welcome speakers from a range of organisations, including Apps for Good, the Educational Games Network, University of Newcastle and the London Knowledge Lab, plus demos and the chance to chat to the people whose ideas are behind the research.

The event will consist of short presentations, then the chance to try out some of the current technologies and prototypes. The session will conclude with a panel lead discussion and will also offer attendees the chance to meet and to chat to like minded others and to the people whose ideas are behind the research.
