Python and Java for Teachers
About the Project
The project Python and Java for Teachers aims to support primary and secondary school teachers from Europe in acquiring and developing skills in working with current issues of Advanced Coding Languages and Computer Science within primary and secondary schools.
Through this project there will be a focus on upskilling teachers in fun and game-inspired, non-formal educational methods in Python and Java programming languages. The project will present innovative methods of utilising methodologies to help increase the offering of computer science in schools and ultimately increase the number of computer scientists across Europe so that future demand for coders can be met.
Through this project, there is an immediate objective of upskilling teachers, and a subsequent objective of engaging with and upskilling students in Python and Java programming through non-formal methods.

Future Directions
The project continues to grow, with plans focused on extending training programmes and creating new resources tailored to different educational contexts. As technology evolves, the initiative aims to remain at the forefront of digital education, supporting teachers in adapting to change and making the most of new opportunities. By championing the role of digital knowledge in education, Python and Java for Teachers will keep empowering educators to shape classrooms where technology is not just taught but meaningfully integrated into learning.
