What's it all about?
Come along to the launch of #include - a working group of Computing at School seeking to improve the diversity of students studying Computing. We will hear from a range of speakers including Kate Russell of BBC Click as well as teachers and students who are already working to encourage a wider range of students to consider Computing. We will then break into discussion groups and there will also be opportunities for networking and sharing practical ideas for inclusion.
