1) Junior Cycle Short Course on Coding
New 100-hour coding course being piloted in 2016First time computing appears on the Irish school curriculum in an official wayhttp://jct.ie/shortcourses/shortcourses.php - resources

Scratch Programme
We have been running a Scratch programme in schools for 6 years.Developed materials free and open on scratch.ie 89% of primary teachers and 52% of post primary teachers have completed a Scratch training course (assuming 1 teacher per school).We founded the national Scratch competition in 2011, categories K-12th grade, thousands of submissions.

2) UL’s Technology Enhanced Learning Unit (TELU)
Joint venture between:– Centre for Teaching and Learning (CTL)– Information Technology Division (ITD)– Continuous Professional Education (CPE)– Library and Information Services Division (LISD)“This unit will provide a co-ordinated and coherent approach by the divisions to stimulating and supporting academic staff in the generation of innovations using technology enhanced-learning potential.” (see http://ulsites.ul.ie/telu/)

TELU’s Take 1 Step (#t1step) Campaign
http://www.t1step.ie Funded by the National Forum Teaching Enhancement Fund 2015Based on the ALL ABOARD framework for digital skills#t1step OER fund call (we put in a proposal for developing teaching material for our – already freely available – tools)

Google’s RISE programme
Designed to support organisations that encourage girls and underrepresented students in extracurricular computer science programmes. Over the last six years $4.3m in RISE Awards has been granted to 205 organisations across 25+ countries reaching over 200,000 students.In 2015, Google contributed $1.5m to 37 organisations in 17 countries.We were the only Irish award recipient in 2015.

D-Fine: Digital Fabrication Network
A project coordinated by AICA with Politecnico di Torino and ISMB, funded by Compagnia di San Paolo
Claudio De Martini Edoardo Calia
13/04/16 © Lero 2015 26
D-Fine: Main Goal
Setting up a framework to promote the knowledge about Digital Fabrication in SMEs, leveraging competences and creativity of the digital natives
The network of labs will implement and demonstrate the whole digital fabrication chain (from user experience to personal fabrication, shipping and handling)

D-fine labs network

D-Fine main action lines
Activation of three or four digital fabrication laboratories (one with professional equipment, three smaller ones) within as many technical high schools (140K€)Support of two 1-year grants for young graduates helping in the organization of the activities and tech scouting (40k€)Support for promotion activities on the territory (enterprises and schools) (20k€)

Perfect timing…
The Ministry of Education promoted in September 2015 the creation of 100+ large labs on the Italian territory dedicated to the dual system implementation, following the examples of other countries (D)The D-Fine project is a pilot reference design: (much) smaller version of that initiative, with 6-12 months of competitive advantage

A sustainable network of labs
The labs are designed to represent a resource for the territory (not limited to schools)Physical places where entrepreneurs can have a hands-on experience on digital fabrication principles and opportunitiesStudent teams will work with enterprises in the labs to carry out their dual system projectsScale up the open culture: FabLabs, Makers, CoderDojo.org, Hackability …

Sustainability
In addition to supporting dual system projects, the labs will offer technological services to create awareness and help the smooth transition to the adoption of digital fabricationExamples include consultancy services, hands-on workshops, training for SMEs technical employees and entrepreneursThe revenues from these services will represent a significant contribution to sustainability
