As we move into the new year, I wanted to take a moment to look back and share a little about what’s ahead for Cwtch & Code. 2024 was an incredible start, filled with exploration into how AI can support children with Additional Learning Needs (ALN), personal moments with my family, and plenty of cups of green tea to keep the ideas flowing.
Looking Back on 2024
The past year has been all about growth—both in learning how technology can enhance lives and in my own understanding of how compassion and innovation can come together. A standout moment for me was introducing “Jeremy,” our family’s AI friend, who has become an unexpected ally in supporting my son Fletchy. It’s these small moments using powerful tools that inspired me to share more on this blog.
Excited for 2025
This year, Cwtch & Code will dive deeper into the intersection of tech and ALN support. Expect posts on:
Practical ways to use AI in family life and education.
Reviews of tools and apps designed for children with ALN.
Stories and tips from my personal journey using tech as a parent and IT Engineer.
A Question for You
I’d love to hear from you: What topics are you most interested in for 2025? Are there tools, technologies, or challenges you’d like me to explore? Let me know in the comments or via email. This blog is as much about sharing as it is about learning together.
Here’s to the Year Ahead
So, let’s raise a metaphorical glass of bubbly (or your favorite mug of tea!) to a year of compassion, innovation, and, of course, a cwtch for every learner. I can’t wait to see where 2025 takes us.
Wishing you all a happy and healthy New Year!
Diolch,
Carl
