Aspiring to make a dent in the Computing Science uptake in Scotland, particularly the gender gap; aiming to inspire, support and engage pupils.
for departments to grow, and for most importantly pupils across Scotland to get equity of access to the subject.

I'm so proud to be involved in this recruitment initiative through STACS.

Science teachers coming into the profession, the lowest we have ever had.

The tech talent pipeline starts in our classrooms and Computing Science at school is an essential part of this. Having enough Computing Science teachers is essential for the subject to thrive,

In complete awe of the amazing work being led by Jack Walker, a true ally in this space, and hugely impressed by the incredible efforts of St George’s School with this initiative, particularly for recognising the importance of Computing Science and making it a core subject from P5 to S2.

If we don’t act fast, we won’t see equality in our lifetimes. This event wasn’t just a step in the right direction; it was a critical action to ensure girls are the architects of a future designed for everyone.

Unfortunately, there is still no equity of access to Computing Science in Scotland. Not every pupil has the opportunity to study the subject and discover whether it’s something they enjoy. For too many, the door isn’t just closed, there is no door.

They’re doing something very special, and I'm so proud dressCodeHQ is a small part of their story.

Huge thank you to Google Developer Groups - GDG Glasgow, Patty O'Callaghan and TwoFifths Design for bringing this idea to life.

Alongside their brilliant teacher, Sara Jenkins, they’ve built a culture that inspires female pupils, boosts confidence, and shows what’s possible in Computing Science.

The female uptake at their school is incredible - not just at BGE, but all the way through to AH!

Every pupil deserves equal opportunities to experience Computing Science in our schools and decide if it is something they enjoy.

and inconsistent access across schools. Early exposure to Computing Science is essential for every pupil to experience and succeed. This depends directly on the recruitment of teachers, which ensures the subject can thrive in all schools and maintain equitable access.
