Bill Thompson

With Make it Digital, the BBC set out to inspire its audiences to build their digital skills and understand more of the digital world that is changing their lives.

The public service broadcaster did this by doing what it does best – creating great TV, radio and digital content to inform, educate and entertain our audiences and using this to set people off on learning journeys.

In his talk, Bill Thompson will look at Weather Watchers, Doctor Who Game Maker, Make it Digital Trainees, and the BBC micro:bit, and discuss the challenges, success and next steps.

Throughout the afternoon, there will be a special BBC micro:bit event - included in the price of the lecture ticket.
