“Computer Science Education Week (CSEdWeek) was founded as a call to action to raises awareness about the need to elevate computer science education at all levels and to underscore the critical role of computing in all careers.”

This annual program is dedicated to inspiring pupils to take an interest in computer science. There are various ways to get involved with raising awareness during this International education week, the most prominent being the Hour of Code scheme (which can be run all year round).

The Hour of Code is a short and concise entry introduction to one of the most prominent elements of computer science. Tips and resources are available here.

For other ways to get involved, visit the CSEdWeek website.

We will be donning our jumpers, will you?!

On 15th December, “flaunt your fabulous knits” and donate £2 to Save the Children to raise awareness for a great cause.

We would like to take this (early) opportunity to give you all a big thumbs up for reaching the end of term and wish you all a Merry Christmas.

Get in touch and let us know how you mark these key dates.
