There has been a paradigm shift in global technology curricula away from an education focused on consumption of technology to its creation; empowering a new generation of digital inventors as children learn to program from a young age. In this course we look at the 10 metacognitive skills; along with 5 computational thinking skills which make pupils powerful learners and effective problem solvers with technology. We present 5 signature pedagogies to help foster metacognition and computational thinking. The course also provides practical experience of learning to program in Scratch and Python for pupils aged 7-11.
