A new initiative is set to transform informatics education for students aged 10-14 with the launch of the TINKER framework, a comprehensive approach designed to teach and assess informatics in an authentic and gender-inclusive way.
The framework outlines key informatics topics, provides age-appropriate learning outcomes, and integrates authentic learning principles. It also promotes gender-inclusive teaching and assessment practices, ensuring every student feels represented and empowered in their learning journey.
At the heart of TINKER is a robust Toolkit featuring 108 engaging learning scenarios. These carefully crafted scenarios help students develop essential informatics competencies while aligning with the national curricula of each partner country.

By bridging the gap between theory and practice, TINKER not only equips young learners with vital digital skills but also fosters a more inclusive and dynamic learning environment. This initiative marks a significant step toward preparing the next generation for the ever-evolving world of technology.
