In our end of year special where we look back at the biggest developments of 2025, from digital skills and data science to advances in AI education. Watch or listen now to hear practical advice on what to expect for your classroom in 2026.

In this episode educators from the Raspberry Pi Foundation discuss the pros and cons of using Scratch, Python, Java and other programming languages to teach coding skills at different learning stages.

In this episode we ask whether “vibe coding" has a role in programming education? We hear from a university academic, a secondary school teacher, and a student, who have each investigated using AI tools to support students learning to program.

‘‘Vibe Coding’’ is a new term most associated with how professional programmers might quickly create prototypes using AI tools in a fast and iterative way. But learning to program, particularly for school-aged learners, is very different to developing IT solutions. We will talk to a university academic, a secondary school teacher and a student who have each investigated using AI tools to support students learning to program. We ask what role might Vibe Coding, a software engineering approach, bring to the complicated job of young people learning how to program?
