The conference has a very clear focus on a future in technology. Many children we educate today will have careers in a vast array of technological fields. We are targeting primary, secondary, and tertiary, graphics and careers/transitions (CATE) educators. Teaching technology should be about igniting a passion – this is relevant at all levels. Quality programmes in the Primary School will develop a foundation to be advanced in Secondary and Tertiary education. Such programmes will make a significant impact on our students.

Day One will focus on upskilling teachers and offer papers and workshops that include practical ideas for the classroom.
Day Two will focus on other aspects of classroom practice including planning, assessment, examples of children’s students’ work, and programmes of work. Delegates will be able to choose from a range of venues to visit to see technology in action.
Day Three will focus on pathways students can take in technology. This is an opportunity for you to consider why you are teaching technology and where your students can take it.
