Building gender balance in computer science

Another year closes on the Ada Scotland Festival and it has been a fantastic celebration of her 5th birthday. Our mission remains to champion gender balance in tech and computing, providing inspiration for our young people and to build a stronger, fairer, more diverse work force of the future. 

Each year the festival grows in influence and reach and, thanks to all our partners, we ran events everywhere from the Highlands to the Borders as well as delivering online directly into classrooms. 

Nominations for the Ada Scotland Inspiring Teacher Award 2024 are now closed. Congratulations to this year’s winner, Carrie Lumsden of Clydebank High School! https://ada.scot/teacher
