When can we begin teaching kids about coding and computer science? If you were to walk into Allen Tsui's classrooms, you'd see kids as young as 3 understanding and working with code. How can you start? Allen has some great ideas, and it just takes trying!

Allen Tsui is a Subject Specialist in Computing at Willow Brook Primary School Academy in London, UK. He has been the subject leader for Computing since September 2020 and specializes in teaching Computing to children as young as aged 3 (Nursery and Early Years) to 11 year olds (Year 6). Since September 2023, Allen has been on the path of the MA in STEM Education at King's College London, where he has been tasked with supporting a small group of GCSE as well as A-Level Computer Science students prepare for their examinations.
