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! tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…
At our SCARI report launch we surveyed employers, educators and computing policy makers see our findings here: scaricomp.org/blog/launch-ev…

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

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 👇

Our latest paper is out! Is being clever enough? tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

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 👩🏻💻🌍🧑🏾💻
This year's Digit<All> CODE Award winners are in! 🏆
Join us in recognising the contributions of these young individuals. Visit our website to see which schools the winning students are from 👉 digitall.charity/codeawards

The Future of Computing Education
Considerations for Policy, Curriculum and Practice Report: kcl.ac.uk/ecs/assets/kcl-sca… Looking forward to discussing recommendations with our PGCE students.
Here is a summary of our key recommendations 🧵 #scaricomp @NuffieldFound @crestem_kcl @KingsCollegeLon @UniofReading

Yes please! A new GCSE in computing (not just CS) please! @bphillipsonMP “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
