Technology that inspires children to code is quickly becoming a vital part of modern education. In early March 2019, in Kuala Lumpur, representatives of the organizing committee of the World Forum of the Best Teachers met with Waris Kandra, Head of the Asia-Pacific Division of Micro:bit, and Jonathan Smith, representative of UK-based Premier Farnell — a global distributor of tools for electronics design, servicing, and repair. Micro:bit produces compact educational micro-platforms that are being integrated into school curricula, enabling students to explore the basics of programming languages such as Scratch, Python, and JavaScript through hands-on, game-based learning. The conversation focused on aligning the forum’s mission with ongoing digital literacy initiatives in Asia and beyond. Both Kandra and Smith praised the scope and timeliness of the forum and expressed their full commitment to support and participate in its upcoming edition. The meeting laid the foundation for a deeper partnership and collaborative development of educational programs.
