Future Skills - How to Foster IT Creativity
summary
Coding Pirates runs after‑school clubs for 7–17 year olds, operates Denmark’s First Lego League with ~4,500–5,000 participants, and incubates projects from Ozobot hacks and micro:bit AI face‑training to 3D‑printed space‑station modules and national cyber security team members. Emphasis lands on a playful mindset as a teachable resilience and creativity practice, backed by McKinsey’s survey of 18,000 people across 15 countries. Workshops mix maker manifesto hands‑on builds, First Lego League innovation challenges and low‑stakes experiments where failure and iteration are expected and celebrated.
