A programme called Technoteach, which is funded by Welsh Government through the National Science Academy and run by the Technocamps programme based at Swansea University, is giving teachers in primary and secondary schools continuous professional development in Computer Science.
The free programme, which gives them the chance to learn the key computer science concepts to help them deliver GCSE Computing effectively, will run for six weeks.
Kate Stephens, Head of ICT at Bishop Gore Comprehensive School, said: "It provides a fantastic opportunity for ICT teachers to re-skill, for the new avenues of the changing curriculum of ICT/Computer Science, currently being rewritten in all syllabuses in Wales and indeed in England."
Professor Faron Moller, Director of the Technocamps Programme at Swansea University, said: "The demand for delivering GCSE computing in schools across Wales is growing and the Technoteach project provides quality training for teachers, equipping them with the necessary knowledge to teach young people."
