Skip to 24 mins to start the lecture - Generation Z are the connected generation, living in an age of high-tech communications, technology-driven lifestyles and prolific use of social media. How do we reach them? How do we teach them? Ian will give a visual account of his learnings from 40 years in the games industry, starting as an entrepreneur in the 1970s when setting up Games Workshop, writing the multi-million selling Fighting Fantasy gamebooks series, and launching Lara Croft: Tomb Raider. He will talk about the Power of Play in learning, and the importance of having Computing on the National Curriculum to promote creativity, computational thinking and problem solving – meta skills for the digital age.
