Today, teachers begin striking in Scotland. We're supporting #abetterdealforteachers because the typical teacher has seen a 20%pay cut in real-terms, with less staff and resources for their schools. This is reducing the quality of education for children across the UK.

For 2023 we are going to focus on diversity in Computer Science...Great computer scientists have come from all backgrounds. Anyone can be an amazing computer scientist if they have the enthusiasm and determination and a willingness to work hard.

🐲 In "Dragon Food", each hand embodies a dragon. Opening and closing the hand results in opening and closing the mouth of the dragon. The green dragon only eats salty food, while the pink dragon only eats sweet food. Eat the maximum of food without getting hit by a bomb!

We're currently asking #computerscience teachers why they teach - and this is our favourite response so far!

There's nothing better than seeing your students get to results day, and get the results they deserve. Do you agree? What's your favourite part about #teaching?

During our market research, we ask these two questions to teachers:

Why did you become a teacher?
Why do you think it's important to teach programming to secondary school students?

We're honoured to talk to so many passionate people about #computerscience this weekend!

Are you worried about your #computerscience students gaining the skills needed for our digital economy?

We want #programming to appeal to more students, so that everyone can benefit from understanding the fundamentals of computing.

[Hackworth @HackworthLtd]

🚨 The UK has a #digitalskills crisis, with 6 out of 10 adults lacking basic IT skills, according to the OECD (2021).

We want everyone to be able to benefit from the digital economy.

It's time to rethink #programming to ensure it appeals to a wider range of #school students!
