[FOSDEM] Fosdem, free software, open educational resources, education, schools and universities

[Amanda Brock]

Hi Nicolas

This would be interesting to Kavita and I as OpenUK is doing a lot in this area. We have the 2020 kids course and camp as well as a kids competition. Some more of our team may also want to be involved.

You can see the camp here:
 https://openuk.uk/openkidscamp/

We have funding for a new course, camp and competition  in 2021. We’ll run the camp in July and may also rerun the 2020 one at Easter. We are also looking into translations.

We are also working on a GCSE in open for teenagers which we would like to launch in 2021 and being in 2022 and also s Knowledge Module which if approved could be a component of UK wide apprenticeship schemes. We are working on that in the same timescale.

Cheers

Amanda
