73 million birds gone. England's dawn chorus silenced.

Our national inheritance squandered. Our daily lives impoverished.

This is where "greed is good" leads.

Time to face the truth: A society endlessly exponentially consuming more and more isn't just a con; it's a death cult.

Excited to be in Scotland today! I’ll be speaking about how Ada Computer Science can support students and teachers.

"For most of the last four years I think the problem has been that Education Scotland and related authorities didn't consider computing science to be important."

Watch @Mark_Logan1 give us an update on the Scottish Technology Ecosystem Review:

Gen Tech is by far one of the best external engagement opportunities for pupils we've seen!

Sad to hear the news about @DigitalXtraFund. Extra curricular activities in schools are an excellent way to engage & inspire pupils without restrictions of the curriculum. Digital Xtra provided a vital way for schools to get physical equipment & inspire many #SaveComputingScience

[Rob Bushby @rob_bushby]

Many will be sad & frustrated at the demise of the #JohnMuirAward - now 'paused' by @JohnMuirTrust.

Huge respect to dedicated staff & supporters who have kept it on life support as it has dangled on a shoogly peg in recent years.
A 2025 relaunch? Hmm...

Recent teacher census numbers show there are 578 CS teachers, the lowest recorded. CS teachers are key for equity of access to the subject. Although teacher recruitment challenges are not unique to Scotland, we need to fix it!
