Join us for the online launch of the @SCARIComp report! Our @NuffieldFound funded report discusses the state of secondary computing education in England and provides recommendations to foster greater inclusion & diversity in the field. https://t.co/bySLB3Blxw

Computer science lacks diverse role models as pupils name either billionaire tech entrepreneurs or historical figures, finds new @OxfordRevEd study 🖥️

@billybwong et al say media discourse and the curriculum need to change to broaden potential role models

Who are the famous faces in computing and for young people? @elonmusk @BillGates @MarkZuckss might be interested in our paper out today! https://t.co/KfWhcPkDUg

@jesswade gets a mention!

At our SCARI report launch we surveyed employers, educators and computing policy makers see our findings here: https://t.co/Enx1dzcrtV

A new paper from the SCARI team (@DrJessicaHamer, @peterejkemp, @billybwong and @m_copseyblake) finds that student experience in computing lessons, teacher and parent support, perceptions of computer scientists, computing at home and gender predict attitudes to coding. See below:

Geeky, clever, detail-oriented men, who lack social skills – are they the ideal computer scientists? 💻

@billybwong and @KingsCollegeLon researchers uncovered a more nuanced view of what makes an 'ideal' computer science student. #EducationAtReading

Really excited that we're launching a new online outreach programme at @KingsNMES!
**Unlocking AI & Computer Science** is a free 8-week programme for girls in Y11-13, starting 3 October.

A survey of over 3,000 secondary school pupils suggest their concept of what makes an 'ideal' computer science student defies convention.

Long-held stereotypes of geeky, clever, detail-oriented men, who lack social skills are challenged by this group 👇

Really proud of our @fulfordschool #Computing students for their hard work and creativity and leadership skills.

Competitions and awards like the Digit<All> CODE Awards are such a great opportunity to see how they can use their tech skills to make the world a better place 👩🏻‍💻🌍🧑🏾‍💻
