Rethinking IT in schools: the TINKER model for the education of the future
Free Workshop
How can we teach and assess computing through authentic, inclusive and meaningful experiences?
TINKER is a pedagogical model, an approach to rethinking the teaching of computing in primary and lower secondary schools, based on authentic learning and on inclusive, gender-sensitive practices.
From the classroom to the European level: new pedagogies for a new approach to computing education. Rethinking computing means rethinking the way we learn, teach and assess.
Look forward to our free workshop at EU School 2026!
