Issue #73 — Tuatara
Friday 7 November 2014
Hi everyone
This week I attended the Open Data Institute Summit in London with Amy Mather who was interviewed by Baroness Martha Lane Fox about her thoughts on computing education and her experience as a young girl interested in programming and making. We also got the chance to meet inventor of the world wide web Sir Tim Berners-Lee. See Amy’s talk.
