Scottish school pupils had the rare chance to speak directly to astronauts aboard the International Space Station during a live radio transmission.

The event connected pupils at Wick High School with astronauts orbiting hundreds of miles above Earth, giving them the opportunity to ask questions about life and work in space.

The headlines in today's The Times on the decline in Computing Science teachers in Scotland make for stark reading. Teacher recruitment is the biggest barrier to equitable access - but the numbers are the most visible symptom of a much wider system problem.

I've posted some updated Higher software development videos. Stuff my class needed help with, but probably relevant to others.

@cyberfirstscot @NCSC Thanks to all the CyberFirst Scotland team and my colleagues in Highland, great folks to work with and all down to them

[Scottish Teachers Advancing Computing Science @stacshq]

The Scottish Government has officially published the Computing Science Summary Report.

A big thank you to all the teachers who shared their thoughts. Your honest feedback is why this report reflects the challenges CS face.

I've updated the past paper video channel I keep. I've added Q9 and Q10 to the 2025 N5 paper. I always feel a bit more comfy with Higher, but I've been making these for my own class.

1/3 The biggest barrier to equity of access in CS is recruitment. To see the subject thrive in every secondary school, we must address the teacher shortage. It's the single biggest hurdle to ensuring every pupil can study CS, regardless of their postcode.

[CyberFirst Scotland @cyberfirstscot]

We are excited to see the Finalists for Cyber School of the Year are all #CyberFirst Schools! Congratulations and good luck to Dunblane High School, Stirling High School and Hyndland Secondary.

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.
