A World of Digital Intelligence. Why BT Trained 70,000 Teachers in Computational Thinking

Who is changing the world – and how are they learning to do it? What role can business play alongside educators? A dynamic economy requires a tech-literate society where young people don’t just consume technology avidly, but know how it works. They need the skills to become the problem solvers, makers and creators of the future. BT’s Barefoot partnership has trained and equipped 70,000 teachers to educate over 2 million primary children in the UK in computational thinking – including experimenting, designing, debugging and collaborating. How can we scale programmes like this to build better digital intelligence?
