We are so proud to launch our new programme, I Belong: encouraging girls into computer science.

Computer science is the fastest-growing STEM subject, yet, despite its popularity, girls are consistently outnumbered by boys, making up just one in five entries at GCSE.

Funded by Department for Education, our programme will empower you to:

💻 understand factors affecting girls' uptake in computer science
🏫 work with colleagues to make computer science in your school more inclusive
🏆 advocate for our mission by becoming an I Belong Champion

👉 ncce.io/i-belong

As we break for the Summer, we would like to thank all our contacts and schools for all of your hard work in supporting the students over the last year.

If you have completed any NCCE CPD you are one of over 60,000 teachers to benefit from the programme - we look forward to welcoming you next year.

We have lots of computing CPD planned for the Autumn term onwards, including face to face course options in our LA areas - visit our STEM London page for all info https://stemlondon.org/

Hope you all have a great Summer and we will be back in September

STEM Clubs Week is a collection of free STEM enrichment opportunities, celebrating extracurricular STEM engagements that raise student aspirations, increase Science Capital and provide a focus for organisations and individuals to share their passion for their work.

The STEM Clubs programme provides a series of learning opportunities for students, educators, families and friends to participate in, from live webinars to pre-recorded video premiers.

The content is provided by individuals and organisations across the UK who provide content to support the overarching theme and to fit within specific themed days.

Held annually, this year's event takes place between 03 – 07 July.

This years theme: AI, THE WORLD AND YOU

Looks at how AI and machine learning impacts on our daily lives, the potential future, what it means to us, the need for ethical codes and a greater understanding of the benefits and limitations of AI.

This year we will be asking schools to hold in-school discussions and debates about AI, looking closely at the ethics involved and testing how much you think you know. Suitable for young people aged from 8 to 18+.

Learn more about the AI in your life from our scheduled mix of live webinars and pre-recorded sessions hosted on our YouTube playlist. The schedule of events is still being finalised, key aspects are listed below - check back weekly to see the diary of events develop and to make sure you and your school are involved.

This week the Computing Hub were pleased to host a delegation from Singapore, including officials from the Singapore IMDA, and others from their Ministry of Education and Ministry of Communication and Information. We were also joined by representatives from the Department for Education and STEM Learning. The delegation were on a fact-finding mission talking to Denmark, Sweden and the UK, to gather information on the delivery of computer science as a discrete subject within their education system.

Our headmaster opened the session and welcomed the group, with our Computing Lead (Paul Hunt) explaining the role of the NCCE and Computing Hub. They then had a tour of the school, followed by lunch and a Q&A session. It was a very interactive session, with the Group asking many questions. It was enjoyable and informative for all parties involved and the Singaporian delegates were impressed with the NCCE and the Computing Hub.
