PLACES AVAILABLE on GIRLS INTO COMPUTING remote course next Thursday 4th May 15:45 - 17:15.
In GCSE Science, boys outnumber girls 4 to 1. Some reasons are a lack of role models, unconscious bias, and a non-inclusive curriculum.
Find out more here and please RT.

Here are some ideas I've had...

Why we must put the Science back in Computer Science.
How a teacher's understanding of computation improves Computer Science outcomes.
Why foregrounding computation and backgrounding technology is vital for Computing success.
Why computation has as much cultural capital as electrification, and why it matters to your pupils.
