Since Ali Smith started volunteering with Code Your Future, a charity that teaches disadvantaged people how to code, he has been passionate about pedagogy (the study of teaching). He’s been a core maintainer of the free and open source curriculum since 2018. He has brought these techniques into his roles across IC and management and found them useful in his daily work.
