The investment is on top of a £1\.3m drive to connect Welsh pupils with coding, Cracking the Code, which was announced last year.

 Research from 2016 showed the digital sector employs 40,000 people and is worth over £8\.5 billion in turnover to the Welsh economy.  

 Cardiff and Swansea Universities will benefit from the funding, allocated by HEFCW, which will include £200,000 to support coding initiatives in schools, colleges and universities.  

 The Institute of Coding has been established by the UK Government to serve as a national focus for improving digital skills provision.  It includes universities, businesses and industry experts including IBM, Cisco, BT and Microsoft. 

 The funding will pay for computers and associated equipment for Technocamps labs which provide hands on experience for teachers and learners on a range of coding activities and tools.  It will also fund schools/business liaison officers, and the establishment of community engagement code clubs run by the National Software Academy. 

 The Cabinet Secretary will make the announcement at St Philip Evans Catholic Primary School, Cardiff, which runs a coding club.

 Since announcing Cracking the Code progress has included:

 * Over 200 teachers have undergone training in coding with further sessions planned.
* Coleg Meirion Dwyfor in partnership with BT Cymru and Bangor University’s Widening Access Centres hosted an all Wales coding competition
* In 2017/18 Technocamps delivered 150 workshops in 85 primary schools across Wales to over 4,250 pupils and their 135 teachers.  40 workshops were delivered in 25 secondary schools to over 1,000 pupils and their teachers.

 Kirsty Williams said: 

 
> “Code is everywhere and part of our everyday lives.  Having world\-class digital skills is essential and it is vitally important that young people have the ability and knowledge to develop in this field.  
> 
>  “I’m pleased to announce that £1\.2m is available for Cardiff and Swansea universities to take part in the Institute of Coding which will allow them to link with other universities, businesses and industries.  Importantly the funding will also enable them to carry out work in the community, building further on the steps we have already taken to ensure coding is part of the learning process in our schools.”

 David Blaney, Chief Executive of HEFCW, said: 

 
> “This is an excellent opportunity for the universities involved to be part of the influential consortium of businesses, professional bodies and universities, and to develop a recognised standard to meet the needs of the digital industry. We are excited to be able to fund the universities involved in order to give this development the status it deserves in Wales.
> 
>  “The funding will develop coding activities for students and young people in Wales to help address any skills gaps. It will allow universities to run new and revised degree programmes in Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity, with considerably increased opportunities to access work experience.   
>    
> “This will have a significant impact on Wales’s ‘supply\-chain’ of coders: from upskilling teachers and running hands\-on computer science workshops to inspire young people, to delivering work\-ready technical graduates. Through student STEM ambassadors, they will also have a role in changing the perceptions of computer science and breaking down barriers to participation, including providing more opportunities for women to participate in computer science.”

 Professor Faron Moller, Director of Technocamps and Lead of the Institute of Coding Wales, said: 

 
> "With the pan\-Wales Technocamps programme, and through delivering novel software engineering apprenticeship courses to full\-time employees from companies throughout South Wales, Cardiff and Swansea Universities together represent a powerful force in Wales in addressing the national skills shortage in the digital economy workforce. We are excited at the prospects and new opportunities that will arise from being partners in the UK\-wide Institute of Coding."

 Professor Stuart Allen, Head of School, Computer Science and Informatics, Cardiff University said: 

 
> “The Institute of Coding builds on the successful partnership between the University’s National Software Academy, Welsh Government and industry leaders, to address the national shortage of skilled programming and software engineering graduates. Its focus on developing skills and knowledge through hands\-on experience on industry led projects is producing sought after graduates ready to step straight into careers as commercial software engineers.”

Mae’r buddsoddiad hwn yn ychwanegol i Cracio’r Cod, ymgyrch gwerth £1\.3 miliwn i gysylltu disgyblion Cymru â chodio, a gyhoeddwyd y llynedd. 

 Dangosodd gwaith ymchwil a wnaed yn 2016 fod y sector digidol yn cyflogi 40,000 o bobl a’i fod werth dros £8\.5 biliwn o ran trosiant i economi Cymru.  

 Bydd Prifysgolion Caerdydd ac Abertawe yn elwa ar y cyllid, a ddyrannwyd gan CCAUC, a fydd yn cynnwys £200,000 i gefnogi mentrau codio mewn ysgolion, colegau a phrifysgolion.  

 Sefydlwyd y Sefydliad Codio gan Lywodraeth y DU i fod yn ganolbwynt gwladol ar gyfer gwella darpariaeth sgiliau digidol.   Mae’n cynnwys prifysgolion, busnesau ac arbenigwyr o faes y diwydiant, gan gynnwys IBM,  Cisco, BT a Microsoft. 

 Bydd y cyllid yn talu am gyfrifiaduron a chyfarpar cysylltiedig ar gyfer labordai Technocamps sy’n darparu profiad ymarferol o ddefnyddio amrywiaeth o weithgareddau a phecynnau codio i athrawon a dysgwyr. Bydd hefyd yn talu am swyddogion cydgysylltu ysgolion/busnesau, ac am sefydlu clybiau sy'n cael eu rhedeg gan yr Academi Meddalwedd Genedlaethol i ennyn diddordeb y gymuned mewn codio.

 Bydd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet yn gwneud y cyhoeddiad yn Ysgol Gynradd Gatholig Sant Philip Evans yng Nghaerdydd, sy’n cynnal clwb codio.

 Ers lansio Cracio’r Cod, mae’r canlynol ymhlith y cynnydd a wnaed:

 * Cafodd dros 200 o athrawon hyfforddiant codio, ac mae rhagor o sesiynau ar y gweill.
* Cynhaliodd Coleg Meirion Dwyfor gystadleuaeth godio ar gyfer Cymru gyfan, mewn partneriaeth â BT Cymru a chanolfannau Ehangu Mynediad Prifysgol Bangor.
* Yn 2017/18 cynhaliodd Technocamps 150 o weithdai mewn 85 ysgol gynradd ledled Cymru ar gyfer dros 4,250 o ddisgyblion a 135 o’u hathrawon.      Cynhaliwyd 40 o weithdai mewn 25 ysgol uwchradd  ar gyfer dros 1,000 o ddisgyblion a’u hathrawon.

 Dywedodd Kirsty Williams:  

 
> “Mae cod ym mhobman ac mae’n rhan o’n bywyd bob dydd.  Mae’n hanfodol cael sgiliau digidol o’r radd flaenaf ac mae’n hollbwysig bod y gallu a’r wybodaeth gan bobl ifanc i ddatblygu yn y maes hwn. 
> 
>  “Rwy’n falch o gyhoeddi bod £1\.2 miliwn ar gael i brifysgolion Caerdydd ac Abertawe gymryd rhan yn y Sefydliad Codio. Bydd hyn yn eu galluogi i gysylltu â phrifysgolion eraill, a chyda busnesau a diwydiannau.  Mae’n bwysig hefyd y bydd yr arian yn eu galluogi nhw i wneud gwaith yn y gymuned, gan adeiladu ar y camau rydym wedi’u cymryd eisoes i sicrhau bod codio’n rhan o’r broses ddysgu yn ein hysgolion.”

 Dywedodd David Blaney, Prif Weithredwr CCAUC: 

 
> "Mae hwn yn gyfle ardderchog i'r prifysgolion dan sylw fod yn rhan o gonsortiwm dylanwadol o fusnesau, cyrff proffesiynol a phrifysgolion, a datblygu safon gydnabyddedig i ddiwallu anghenion y diwydiant digidol. Rydym yn hynod o falch ein bod yn gallu darparu cyllid i'r prifysgolion dan sylw er mwyn rhoi ei statws haeddiannol i'r fenter hon yng Nghymru.
> 
>  "Bydd y cyllid yn datblygu gweithgarwch codio i fyfyrwyr a phobl ifanc yng Nghymru i fynd i'r afael ag unrhyw fylchau o ran sgiliau. Bydd yn galluogi'r prifysgolion i redeg rhaglenni gradd newydd a diwygiedig ym meysydd Peirianneg Meddalwedd, Deallusrwydd Artiffisial a Seiberddiogelwch, a bydd cynnydd sylweddol yn y cyfleoedd i gael profiad gwaith. 
> 
>  "Bydd hyn yn cael effaith fawr ar y ‘gadwyn gyflenwi’ yng Nghymru o ran codyddion: bydd yr effaith yn amrywio o wella sgiliau athrawon i redeg gweithdai cyfrifiadureg ymarferol er mwyn ysbrydoli pobl ifanc, i gynhyrchu graddegion yn y gwyddorau technegol sy'n barod i weithio ar unwaith. Drwy ddefnyddio myfyrwyr fel llysgenhadon STEM, bydd gan y prifysgolion rôl yn y gwaith o newid delwedd cyfrifiadureg hefyd, ac o chwalu rhwystrau rhag cymryd rhan, gan gynnwys darparu mwy o gyfleoedd i fenywod gymryd rhan mewn cyfrifiadureg."

 Dywedodd yr Athro Faron Moller, Cyfarwyddwr Technocamps ac Arweinydd y Sefydliad Codio yng Nghymru: 

 
> "Drwy redeg rhaglen Technocamps ledled Cymru, a chyflwyno cyrsiau prentisiaeth arloesol mewn peirianneg meddalwedd i weithwyr amser llawn cwmnïau ar draws y De, gyda'i gilydd mae prifysgolion Caerdydd ac Abertawe yn adnoddau grymus yng Nghymru o ran mynd i'r afael â'r prinder sgiliau cenedlaethol yng ngweithlu'r economi ddigidol. Mae'r rhagolygon a'r cyfleoedd newydd a fydd yn deillio o fod yn bartneriaid yn Sefydliad Codio'r DU gyfan yn gyffrous."

 Dywedodd yr Athro Stuart Allen, Pennaeth yr Ysgol Cyfrifiadureg a Gwybodeg ym Mhrifysgol Caerdydd: 

 
> "Mae'r Sefydliad Codio'n adeiladu ar y bartneriaeth lwyddiannus rhwng Academi Meddalwedd Genedlaethol y Brifysgol, Llywodraeth Cymru ac arweinwyr o fyd diwydiant i fynd ar afael â'r prinder cenedlaethol o raddedigion medrus ym meysydd rhaglennu a pheirianneg meddalwedd. Mae'r pwyslais y mae'n ei roi ar ddatblygu sgiliau a gwybodaeth drwy ennill profiad ymarferol ar brosiectau a arweinir gan ddiwydiant yn creu graddedigion y mae galw mawr amdanynt, ac sy'n barod i gamu'n syth i mewn i yrfa fel peirianwyr meddalwedd masnachol.”
