Title: Teaching and Learning in Code Clubs – Capital, Aspirations and Inclusion
Abstract: This presentation is based on my going PhD project, which takes place in the non-formal learning space of code clubs. Code clubs can be defined as an informal site designed for hands-on learning of computing and creative production, with or without tools. As the number of code clubs is increasing and many young people come in contact with these communities, there is a need to study these communities more in-depth. In this talk, I will zoom in on the volunteers’ pedagogical experiences, the children’s aspirations, and how code clubs work with inclusion. I will also discuss the role of computer science capital and how we can use it as a tool to reflect on our teaching.
11:00 – 11:15, Wrap-up, general discussion, announcements, etc.
