:01:09. > :01:14.get your kids online. Welcome to Click. I am Spencer
:01:14. > :01:19.Kelly. Look at this. This is four use of my life right here with
:01:19. > :01:25.University notes, my final year dissertation, all in computer
:01:25. > :01:28.science. Good stuff, programming, electronics, basic machine
:01:28. > :01:34.architecture, genetic algorithms. This passion for programming
:01:34. > :01:37.started when I was ten years old when I had my first BBC
:01:37. > :01:45.Microcomputer. In the small number of years since then many schools up
:01:45. > :01:48.moved away from teaching computers in this much depth.
:01:48. > :01:56.Today, school children are surrounded by more technology than
:01:56. > :02:02.ever before. There is going concern the current curriculum covered by a
:02:02. > :02:07.player or T1 -- Information Technology & Communications, which
:02:07. > :02:13.defines the way children are taught about technology, does not acquit
:02:13. > :02:17.children with the tools to fuel the 21st century technology based
:02:17. > :02:20.economy. It is important everybody gets the basic skills to get the
:02:20. > :02:25.jobs in the future but we need to go further and do more in computer
:02:25. > :02:29.science. In the 1980s, the first 8- bit computers caused a
:02:29. > :02:36.technological revolution in the home. For the first run,
:02:36. > :02:41.enthusiasts could cheaply learn how to programme a computer. In 1982,
:02:41. > :02:45.the BBC Microcomputer began to appear in UK schools. It was the
:02:45. > :02:49.start of another revolution, this time in the classroom. We had a
:02:49. > :02:54.crisis in schools today in regards to Information Technology &
:02:54. > :02:59.Communications. The BBC Microcomputer was a cornerstone of
:02:59. > :03:04.competing in schools. ZX Spectrum was a affordable computer. Children
:03:04. > :03:08.were inspired to create technology. Today they just use technology. We
:03:08. > :03:13.teach children to read but not to write. Learning how to use
:03:13. > :03:16.computers is of course important. But many leading industry figures
:03:16. > :03:26.believe that being sought her to use bits of software or
:03:26. > :03:27.
:03:27. > :03:34.applications simply is not enough. Break time. Two years ago, Ian
:03:34. > :03:44.Livingstone, the President of Eidos, the home of Lara Croft, and Alex
:03:44. > :03:45.
:03:45. > :03:49.Hope, were asked to write a report about the tools children have to
:03:49. > :03:57.find jobs in the technology industry. We published a report
:03:57. > :04:01.last year. It got nowhere particularly. We tried to engage
:04:01. > :04:11.with the civil servants. They said they key but no thank you. It was
:04:11. > :04:12.
:04:12. > :04:16.not until last August when a leading figure gave a lecture that
:04:17. > :04:22.we started thinking. I was flabbergasted to learn that
:04:22. > :04:28.technology is not taught as a standard in the UK. This puts York
:04:28. > :04:32.rate computer heritage under risk. When Eric Schmidt says we should
:04:32. > :04:35.have technology in the curriculum everybody sets up. As a result the
:04:35. > :04:42.government has pledged to change the current programme of study,
:04:42. > :04:47.replacing it with computer science at its heart. However, business and
:04:47. > :04:54.industry has been tasked with achieving this. We have filmed a
:04:54. > :05:04.Next Gen Coalition on the back of a cross industry coalition, backed by
:05:04. > :05:06.
:05:06. > :05:10.British Computer Society and UKIE. We are endeavouring to create a
:05:10. > :05:16.curriculum that will satisfy the government but is also inspiring
:05:16. > :05:19.and exciting to get children on board to want to do it. But is it
:05:19. > :05:26.appropriate for the technology industry to pursue such a hands-on
:05:26. > :05:32.role in education? It must be good to have such
:05:32. > :05:37.inspiration. Microsoft and Google are good examples. They employ a
:05:37. > :05:41.huge amount of engineers and they generate huge amounts of profits.
:05:41. > :05:45.Everybody uses those products. We cannot imagine a world without
:05:45. > :05:55.search engines. Because of an Google our leading players. It is
:05:55. > :05:58.
:05:58. > :06:03.very appropriate. -- Microsoft and Google.
:06:03. > :06:08.Work has already begun to help inspire feature computer scientist.
:06:08. > :06:15.These children are using a visual programming system called Kodu,
:06:15. > :06:19.which allows its users to build simple games. A computer science,
:06:19. > :06:28.you need to understand how the software works and the ballots.
:06:28. > :06:34.That is why should be taught at a young age -- and how it develops.
:06:35. > :06:41.Teaching as young as eight, 9 and 10, then people can understand
:06:41. > :06:44.these people can be the next future scientists in the future.
:06:44. > :06:50.Gadgeteer is a project developed by because of research that should
:06:50. > :06:56.address these concerns. Project Gadgeteer was conceived as a tool
:06:56. > :06:59.to help us build new types of devices. We had lots of ideas for
:06:59. > :07:05.different devices that could be interesting to explore and we
:07:05. > :07:13.wanted to be able to build one. system encompasses programming and
:07:13. > :07:17.involves working together different models to created a wide variety of
:07:17. > :07:22.games. We spoke to teachers and they got excited about what they
:07:22. > :07:29.thought they could do in the class and in terms of the children
:07:29. > :07:34.building and turning their ideas into reality. This is an example of
:07:34. > :07:40.something we built in our laboratory with Gadgeteer. We have
:07:40. > :07:48.made a nice Enclosure. You can make something that is very visually
:07:48. > :07:56.appealing. We have a version of the play if 49, where I had to steer
:07:56. > :07:59.the snake around. -- snake game. This is an example of another game.
:07:59. > :08:05.This one is interesting because it was built by a group of
:08:05. > :08:08.schoolchildren who were involved in a pilot of get a searing. Children
:08:08. > :08:12.have been used in this programme and learning about it and building
:08:12. > :08:17.their own projects in an after- school club. After just ten weeks,
:08:17. > :08:25.one hour a week, these children put together this example, another
:08:25. > :08:30.arcade game. What this device is is actually a stop animation system.
:08:30. > :08:36.The idea is that there is a jitters will come on the front of the units.
:08:36. > :08:44.The display has an SD card. I walk into use this guy into the shot.
:08:44. > :08:53.The idea is that we will build up a movie and then maybe he will end by
:08:53. > :08:58.staring at the camera. In a similar vein, a project that hect that hed
:08:58. > :09:03.huge interest is Raspberry Pi, a fully programmable computer that
:09:03. > :09:09.cost just �25. This is a Raspberry Pi computer. It is a very small
:09:09. > :09:15.computer. But in the middle inside there is a processor that is
:09:15. > :09:20.running at 700MHz. We also have a graphics processing units, GPU.
:09:20. > :09:25.That is delivering the graphics to this green. There is also a HDMI
:09:25. > :09:30.transmitter inside there as well, delivering video. The first thing I
:09:30. > :09:35.am going to do is start of the Graphical User Environment. The
:09:35. > :09:41.best of his in a short time and we can begin using it. I will open two
:09:41. > :09:45.windows. The first is for a programme called Snake. Then I am
:09:45. > :09:49.going to open another window and that will actually run the
:09:49. > :09:55.programme within it. It opens up a third dimension in computing and
:09:55. > :09:59.takes computing from plug 'n' play to plug, play and explore. That is
:09:59. > :10:06.a very exciting thing. We give it to students around the world and it
:10:06. > :10:10.will open up their minds to what is possible with computing. Microsoft
:10:10. > :10:14.and AQA have already partners to create a new GCSE in computer
:10:14. > :10:19.science that will include programming for wear and mobile
:10:19. > :10:24.applications. This is competing in the old school cents. Almost like
:10:24. > :10:32.the 1980s. Users slaving over a code and programming. Technology in
:10:32. > :10:35.education is very much looking back to the future.
