-Play and delight a key element to consider in the creation of materials.

  • Short videos maybe? Interactive code maybe?

  • Making the play central to the learning objectives.

  • What would make young women stay with coding over time?

  • Creativity and openness as an underlying theme of all materials

  • Games with subject matter often not talked about in cultural objects
