A thinking task to get Mrs A-D’s S3 class started today. Their job was to interpret the HTML code on the board and draw what they thought it’d look like in a browser.
Today is International Day of Women and Girls in Science.
A reminder that CS at school level in Scotland has the largest gender gap compared to other traditional STEM subjects & has done for over a decade.
