Story Power
I’m so exited to have been invited to run a session talking about the power of reading together and discussing my upcoming book “Unplugged Tots”
In this full-day, in-person conference, we will look at the how storytelling, sharing stories and reading can inform and enrich family learning practice, activities and programmes by exploring themes such as:
boosting well-being and relationships by reading together for pleasure
optimising learning and engagement by reading together
learning maths, science or other subjects through storytelling
diffusing difficult situations or talking about challenging topics through storytelling
dialogic learning and co-creating stories
using props and multisensory resources in story building
identity and culture formation
what do stories do: storytelling and cognition
We will also welcome storytellers and poets to help delegates experience the magic of storytelling and story co-creation first-hand.
The conference includes refreshments, lunch and networking opportunities.

Unplugging the future: Fostering tech talent through early years play
Hannah will be discussing how to introduce core computational thinking concepts like decomposition, pattern recognition, and algorithmic thinking through hands-on, interactive play. These skills are not just for future coders; they are essential for everyone, from entrepreneurs and innovators to employees at all levels.
By fostering these skills in early childhood, we can empower the next generation to smash that glass ceiling and become successful leaders in their chosen fields.
Past event: CamJam
Past Event:
CamJam celebrates Raspberry Pi’s 13th (unofficial) Birthday!
The first ever Raspberry Pi computer was released 13 years ago, but its birthday was 29th February! So, we will officially celebrate its unofficial 13th birthday on 1st March instead.
This CamJam is being hosted at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory (at the William Gates Building) with the support of Raspberry Pi.
Please note: this is a ticketed event with a small admission fee for adults, however if this would affect your ability to attend, please contact us
Children must always be supervised while at CamJam, so if you are under 18, please make sure you are accompanied by a parent or guardian who has their own ticket.
We are fully inclusive of technology: if your project is based around an Arduino, micro:bit or something else, we would still love to see it!

We are going to be offering an assortment of activities throughout the day, which will include:
• Talks - aimed at a variety of different abilities and on a variety of different topics.
• Workshops - to allow participants to learn and practice skills.
