A great afternoon spent with two brilliant fellow Computing Science teachers championing and spreading the word about being a Computing Science teacher.

There are only 550 Computing Science teachers in Scotland, the lowest number we've ever had and we only had 16 new Computing
We had a brilliant time at @UniStrathclyde technology careers fair today! So many amazing individuals with genuine interest in CS teaching. Huge shout out to the amazing CS teachers Shona & Lynn who were outstanding today & have no doubt inspired future CS teachers.

CS at school level in Scotland continues to have the largest gender gap of all traditional STEM subjects and has done for over a decade.

It’s a real privilege to be involved in such an inspiring initiative. Together, we can close the gender gap in CS.

Role models for pupils are incredibly important but peer role models hold significant influence. These senior dressCodeHQ mentors proved that! It’s been such a privilege to work with them and meet them.
It’s hard to put into words just how incredible these senior dressCode mentors are and the outstanding impact they’ve had - not only in building their school’s dressCode club, but also in being such inspiring role models for younger pupils.

A great opportunity for teachers delivering Computing Science across both primary and secondary schools in Scotland to share their views on the challenges facing the subject, exchange good practice, and contribute ideas and solutions for the future.
#SaveComputingScience
📢A new initiative, in partnership with STACS & others, is gathering evidence on CS in Scotland focusing on key areas, starting with recruitment & retention.

Building Scotland’s tech talent pipeline starts in our classrooms – but not all pupils have equal access to Computing Science.

2025 results show Computing Science pupils performed strongly. While these results are impressive, the subject still faces a persistent gender gap

1/ State of the Nation: Our Tech Talent Pipeline! It's a story filled with challenges that has spanned over two decades, a story some might have given up on - a true underdog tale. But for me, it's a story of hope & countless opportunities, & it's going to make a great @netflix
