Digital Technology Education Charter @dtecharter.bsky.social · 11/02/2025What @codeorg said!! In Scotland CS is not yet a core subject. Compared with traditional STEM subjects CS has the worst uptake, largest gender gap, least amount of teachers, least places to train as a teacher 💔 #SaveComputingScience 000
Digital Technology Education Charter @dtecharter.bsky.social · 11/02/2025Today is International Day of Women and Girls in Science. A reminder that CS at school level in Scotland has the largest gender gap compared to other traditional STEM subjects & has done for over a decade. Let's work together to #CloseTheGenderGap #SaveComputingScience 021
Digital Technology Education Charter @dtecharter.bsky.social · 29/01/2025CS in Scotland has the biggest gender gap in STEM for over a decade! Fantastic to see initiatives like NextTechGirls offering amazing work experience. Be great to see more Scottish tech companies get involved & create more opportunities for pupils in Scotland #SaveComputingScience#CloseTheGenderGap 000
Digital Technology Education Charter @dtecharter.bsky.social · 24/01/2025Fantastic news! Every high school will offer CS in Michigan by 2027-2028. CS in Scotland is yet to be a core subject with equity of access. Compared to other traditional STEM subjects, it has the largest gender gap, worst uptake & least amount of teachers #SaveComputingScience 011
Digital Technology Education Charter @dtecharter.bsky.social · 22/01/2025It's really great to see this. Well done. Yet we cannot forget that CS at schools compared to traditional STEM subjects has the worst uptake, largest gender gap, least amount of teachers, least places to train, lowest num in ITE & not yet core subject. #SaveComputingScience 000
