"This MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) has been created by the Cambridge-based partnership of exam board OCR, Cambridge University Press (CUP) and the Raspberry Pi Foundation. The course is based on OCR's GCSE Computing curriculum and gives participants an excellent opportunity to investigate how computers work, how they are used, and to develop computer programming and problem-solving skills. The course has been designed for 14-16 year olds; but is free and open to all, and can be used either as a course or a resource to support teachers.   The course is running now; it has no start or end date.   Content will be released on a phased basis with all learning episodes available from April 2014. We want to learn as we go along and welcome your feedback. We see this phase as a shared experience and will take on learner and teacher feedback to adapt, tailor and carve the way for phases 2 and 3"
