Activity: Public engagement and outreach › Workshop and other training
Description
The Computing at School Working Group recognises that Computer Science (CS) and Information Technology (IT) are disciplines within Computing that, like maths or history, every pupil should meet at school. The rationale is argued in “Computing at school: the state of the nation”1 and reflected in the Royal Society Report, 'Shut down or restart?2 . The purpose of this document is to describe and explain the content of Computer Science within the school curriculum. If Computer Science should be taught at school we must answer the question “just what is Computer Science, viewed as a school subject?” Answering that question is the purpose of this document.
