“For the majority, the world of software is a built worldthat, like a city, helps us to organise and consume. But ithas been built by others. For the minority, software ismerely a curtain that can be pulled aside to reveal a wildworld of confusion, trial and error, but also of virtuallyunlimited creative and commercial potential. It is time forBritish schoolchildren to be granted access to this world.”

The Opportunity for Swansea
A Call To Arms
Need to change perceptions (teachers, parents, public);
Making digital/STEM as a part of our society/culture?
Future citizens: recognising the wider social/cultural/economicimperatives.
Reform as a lever: roadmap for new curriculum, quals, routes;
Investment in practitioners, resources and infrastructure;
Communities and partnerships: schools, FE, HE (civic mission);
Developing interdisciplinary STE(A)M skills for Wales;
Drivers: City Deal+projects, anchor companies, emerging economy;
Mission-led Innovation
Make Swansea the most “digitally-capable” region in Wales/UK?
