We are so excited to be announce this years #cssconect event! Our annual event where we bring together the Computing Science teaching community. Our upcoming event is a great opportunity for new and experienced Computing Science teachers to come together, make valuable connections and learn from each other.

We are excited to be launching STACS Connected, a community hub for both Primary and Secondary teachers with a specific focus on Computing Science at school level.

To advance Computing Science, we recognise that the work undertaken from nursery to P7 is crucial. Inspiring pupils, especially girls at a young age, is essential to establish a sustainable and robust tech talent pipeline for Scotland and to make significant strides in closing the gender gap. We invite all educators to complete the short form so that we can gather as many perspectives as possible.

We're thrilled to announce an exciting face-to-face event as the grand finale to this year's STACS upskilling journey. Responding to the feedback of teachers, we've curated a program in Database development, Software development, and Web development, covering both National 5 and Higher levels.

When: February 3rd, 10 am - 1 pm

Where: St Aloysius College, Glasgow

The recent announcement that Replit is withdrawing the Teams for Education product was an unpleasant shock. The extremley short notice has left many educators scrambling for alternatives. Given the substantial following of Replit Teams in Scotland, it's evident that this decision has significant implications for our teaching community. We are aware of the considerable time and effort that many teachers have invested in creating resources and projects within the Replit platform. We are here to help.

An excellent day at Futurescot Digital Glasgow event. It was great that STACS had a stand and could help promote Computing Science at such an well known tech event. A huge thank you to the FutureScot team for making that happen.
