Learners will be fully involved in the co-production of the projects and opportunities will always be sought for the sharing and publication of learner-created content.

We are running the digital learning strand and wanted to get kids to create ideas for digital media products to promote the other four strands of the programme. We had over 40 great ideas on the day and loads more...we then did some dot voting thank you @leancoffee and Jasmina Nikolicfor that idea on the final issues and closed the circle. They will then go on to produce the ideas working with professionals from music, film, radio, animation and game companies. We will also be teaching them some scrum techniques to run their projects...Best bit was the teachers freaking out at their lack of control
