An important slide about schools where there is a higher uptake of girls studying computing. More in The future of computing education report here: kcl.ac.uk/research/subje… #ScariComputing

Yes please! A new GCSE in computing (not just CS) please! Bridget Phillipson “We need a brand-new qualification at Key Stage 4... more practical and creative, and more IT based. If you have that medley... you're much more likely to attract a broader range of people” #scaricomputing

What's your takeaway from today's SCARI #Computing report from King's College London? Mine is: CS is the fastest growing GCSE and it's well worth studying 👩🏾‍💻🧑🏻‍💻but the skills shortage requires a range of creative digital qualifications at KS4: not just CS kcl.ac.uk/ecs/assets/kcl…

#EHUSecondaryComputing The Future of Computing Education Considerations for Policy, Curriculum and Practice Report: kcl.ac.uk/ecs/assets/kcl… Looking forward to discussing recommendations with our PGCE students.

Really proud of our Fulf☀️rd School #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 👩🏻‍💻🌍🧑🏾‍💻

SCARI Computing Nuffield Foundation Peter Kemp A brilliant report. Very informative with clarity and purposefulness that should set the context for policy and curriculum development. My congratulations to all involved. 👏

Our latest paper is out! Is being clever enough? tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

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 👇 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

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

Geeky, clever, detail-oriented men, who lack social skills – are they the ideal computer scientists? 💻 Billy Wong and King's College London researchers uncovered a more nuanced view of what makes an 'ideal' computer science student. #EducationAtReading reading.ac.uk/news/2024/Rese…

A new paper from the SCARI team (Jessica Hamer, Peter Kemp, Billy Wong and Meggie Copsey-Blake) 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:
