It’s back: The Hello World podcast for the computing education community

We set out last year to gather more stories, ideas, and inspiration from and for the computing education community in between Hello World magazine issues: we launched the Hello World podcast. On the podcast, we dive deeper into articles from Hello World, and we speak with people from all over the world who work as teachers, educators, and other computing education professionals.

Season 3 of the Hello World podcast starts on Monday

The Hello World podcast helps connect the global community of computing educators and Hello World readers, and lets them share their experiences. After two seasons and a short pause during the autumn, we are finally back with a brand-new Hello World podcast season. Regular listeners will also notice a new theme music!

Each episode, we explore computing, coding, and digital making education by delving into an exciting topic together with our guests: experts, practitioners, and other members of the Hello World community.

 In season 3, we’re exploring:

  • The role of makerspaces, both within schools and the wider community 
  • The relevance of imagination and storytelling to computing 
  • Computing in the context of science and ecology
  • How learners can promote and support computing as digital leaders
  • And much more…
