  Marielena Ivory and Obum Ekeke, CS Education Outreach, Google (EMEA)

Interest in computer science education is continuing to explode across Europe as more countries begin to ask critical questions about the skills and preparedness of their youth and their teachers for the new global economy. This presentation will explore how Google perceives its role in supporting efforts to embed computational thinking and computer science more deeply into formal and informal education. The session will describe several key programs and engage the audience in a conversation about how we can make these programs more relevant and accessible.
