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

Closing the gender gap in Computing Science is vital for Scotland's tech future! Initiatives like the Women in Computing event at St George's inspire the next gen. Organisations/Industry to get involved? Join their workshop this Thursday 15th May! Email: [email protected]

1/3 Most of us can name one. I’m lucky enough to name many — Mrs Brown, Mr Donoghue, Mr Murphy, Chris Sinclair, Dr Hazel Hall, David Muir, fiona Sabba, Greg McDowall and Alan McIntosh. A few of the incredible teachers who supported me at different times in my journey

Happy International Women's Day. It's a stark reminder that there's still so much work to do.

* Persistent Gender Gap: In Scotland, Computing Science at school level still has the largest gender gap compared to any other traditional STEM subject, and this has persisted for over a decade.

Great talking Computing Science teaching with @UniWestScotland undergraduates, Paisley Campus! Special thanks to Santiago & Tony. Happy to give a short talk at any Scottish uni/college to raise awareness of CS teaching.

NextTechGirls are redefining work experience for girls! It's fantastic to see these opportunities expanding to Scotland! Partnering with companies like Eviden, recognising the power of peer & role models. It's fantastic to see these opportunities expanding to Scotland!

Seeking research on closing the gender gap in Computing Science education: what works, what doesn't, evidence-based strategies, global success stories, and recommended academics to connect with. Keen to gather insights to inspire more girls into Computing. Any recommendations?

Excited to be one of the judges for this year's Scottish Cyber Awards! Awards that recognise edu at school level alongside industry. Tech talent pipeline starts in classrooms. Great categories including best cyber school & student. Entries close this Thus. scottishcyberawards.co.uk

Looking for opportunities! Do you deliver a CS related course at college or uni in Scotland & can spare 30 mins of a class before summer for amazing CS teachers to give a short 15-20min talk, followed by questions to your students. Hope to inspire more to consider CS teaching.

Women in Computing event at St George’s School brought together schools, industry & orgs, reaching nearly 600 female pupils primary & secondary from 13 schools across 3 councils. Important initiative tackling CS gender gap. @dresscodehq.bsky.social proud to partner along with Skyscanner.

Thrilled to host the Girls Can Code panel at school Women in Computing event last week! 500+ pupils from 13 schools, across 3 councils inspired by role models Jessica Edwards, Roseanne Jewsbury & Abbie Macrae showing how creative & rewarding tech is. Let's close the gender gap together!

✨ Honoured to be Highly Commended in the Woman of the Year category at the #WomenInTechExcellence Awards for my work at @stacshq.bsky.social

Still lots of work to do—Scotland's CS gender gap remains the largest in STEM. #CloseTheGenderGap

@choosecompsci.bsky.social A site for parents, guardians & key adults to spark young people’s interest in tech & encourage them to choose CS. With unequal access to CS in schools in Scotland, many pupils miss out on opportunities. Let’s change that!
