​In Scotland, Computing Science has the largest gender gap of any STEM subject, a trend stuck in place for a decade. ​We often talk about role models, confidence & capability. These are symptoms of the root cause being access & equity. @Tes Scotland www.tes.com/magazine/ana...

Great opportunity to have your say.

Annual cyber advent calendar and Christmas coding competition open tomorrow! dressCode code clubs get earlier access to all competitions dresscode.club #ClosingTheGenderGap

Great to be in a room packed with fellow teachers delivering CS in Scotland! Such a great start hearing from the amazing tutors and fascinating keynote from Dr Watts! #ByTeachersFromTeachers

Brilliant cyber competition open to pupils aged 14 to 18. Sign up closes today!!! forms.office.com/pages/respon... #ChooseComputingScience

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

A privilege to be featured at number 24 on Computer Weekly's 50 Most Influential Women in UK Tech list. Amazing to be recognised alongside so many inspiring women. www.computerweekly.com/news/3666341...

Beyond proud to be involved in such an inspiring and important event aimed at encouraging more girls to consider a career in the tech sector.

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. www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/community/ed...

Really looking forward to being part of the No Tech Without EdTech event tomorrow! Still opportunity to get tickets and come along. app.forumm.to/event/5e35a0... Huge thank you to Dr Clare Daly for inviting me along and pulling together a brilliant and much needed event.

There are lots of teachers doing brilliant work to close the gender gap in Computing Science. This is a great opportunity for teachers to help inspire others and share your success.

Looking for any Computing Science teachers in Scotland interested in helping out with this.

Really honoured to have been recognised in this years Alumni Awards! My time at Edinburgh Napier was so special. I left with more than a degree; it changed the trajectory of my life.

Another great example of STACS teaching community in action! Amazing effort by the ever brilliant David Jack.

Any teachers delivering AH CS this event will be really worthwhile!! See you there.

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.

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

Honoured to be named in Computer Weekly’s 50 Outstanding Female Leaders in UK Tech 2025 ✨ Huge shout out to all recognised, incl. the 700+ on the longlist - an amazing achievement! 🗳️ You can vote below: www.computerweekly.com/news/3666305...

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

So excited to see @dressCodeHQ featured in the latest issue of the amazing @FUTURUMCareers magazine Really proud @dressCodeHQ is featured in the brilliant @FUTURUMCareers magazine!! futurumcareers.com/Issue-33.pdf dressCode club here www.dresscode.org.uk/teachers-por... #ClosingTheGenderGap

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

Summer of Code competition is now open to all Primary and Secondary pupils. #ChooseComputingScience

A brilliant opportunity for female pupils aged over 15!! Sign up extended closes tomorrow midnight, spaces still available.

1/2 Fundraising target reached + a bit extra! They're officially going to London on June 26th to represent Scotland at the @WeLoveFTC UK & Ireland Champs! Thank you to every single person who donated & shared. You've not only helped cover travel & accommodation but have also

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] #ClosingTheGenderGap

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

CS, while having the lowest number of teachers at 550, is filled with some truly remarkable individuals. Witnessing the community rally around colleagues seeking advice, ideas, or support on #STACSConnected is amazing! #ByTeachersForTeachers

The challenges facing Computing Science are so intertwined, but I remain completely optimistic that we can fix them. This isn't an impossible situation – it's fixable! #SaveComputingScience

Bridging the gap between primary & secondary is so important for pupils, but teachers rarely get to work together across phases. That's why tonight's STACS upskilling is going to be brilliant! Real collaboration between experienced primary & secondary teachers. See you there.

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.

Happy International Women's Day! Working to close the gender gap is a core thread woven through everything we do! We're delighted to share our STACS Resources are featured on UNESCO's open & exclusive science hub, under practices promoting open & inclusive science! www.unesco.org/en/open-scie...

A brilliant virtual upskilling session tomorrow delivered by a team of incredibly knowledgeable & experienced AH CS teachers. Want to learn how to support pupils with their AH projects? Want to gain tips on how to avoid dropping marks? This is for you. #ByTeachersForTeachers
