Building gender balance in computer science

The Ada Scotland Festival is back for the fifth consecutive year, running from 1 to 11 October 2024. 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 the amazing support from our partners, we are delighting to be extending our footprint with events in Dundee, Inverness and Stranraer.

Nominations for the Ada Scotland Inspiring Teacher Award 2024 are now open. https://ada.scot/teacher
