ave you been juggling working from home/ homeschooling/ feeding everyone all day every day/staying positive? We can’t underestimate the multiple effects of this difficult time - but we can look to see if there is anything to be learned - and in our case from an educational perspective. We at Cypher dramatically changed the way we work over the lockdown period. Our first thoughts were with the children. We are educators, and spend our time designing lessons that will intrigue and excite children to learn to code and delivering them to all sorts of children. We used to do that only at in-person holiday camps. We were determined that this pandemic, scary enough on its own, would not stop kids being inspired and optimistic about their future.
