Curious about what informatics is and why it’s so important for our digital world? Our new Digital First video has the answers! Discover what informatics education offers, why digital skills matter more than ever, and how young people can get involved in this exciting field.
This educational video is now live on YouTube and on our project website, where you can also find a wealth of other resources and information about what Digital First has to offer.
At Digital First, we’re focused on creating an online space where education and innovation meet.
Our goal? The project calls for a move from a traditional approach in informatics education based on programming languages and technical knowledge to an innovative pedagogical approach focusing on how to help students learn how to address real-life challenges. This shift in education will encourage the young generation to be “active creators” of the digital world, rather than “passive consumers”.
