I’ll be leading a discussion on Computational Thinking in the Early Years — exploring how the foundations of skills such as problem-solving, sequencing, and pattern recognition laid in early childhood can shape the innovators and creators of tomorrow.

Drawing from my research and real-world experience with Unplugged Tots, I’ll share practical, screen-free approaches to introducing computational thinking through play. We’ll unpack what this looks like in nurseries and classrooms and how simple, playful interactions can ignite and inspire our children to be curious about how the world works.

This session is designed to be hands-on and collaborative — expect to leave with fresh ideas, practical strategies, and a renewed confidence in nurturing computational thinking long before children ever touch a computer.

I’ll also be bringing copies of my book “Unplugged Tots” that is designed to support practictioners.
