In Scotland, Computing Science has the largest gender gap of any STEM subject, a trend stuck in place for a decade. We often talk about role models, confidence & capability. These are symptoms of the root cause being access & equity.

A huge shout-out to all senior dressCoders, who have now gone on to their next big adventure since leaving school, we can't wait to see what you achieve & will be your biggest cheerleader!
we were able to do just that. The awards, beautifully designed and 3D printed by the one and only TwoFifths Design - such a huge part of dressCode since the very beginning. Awards were completely custom made with each pupil’s name and turned out utterly perfect!
With the #HopperAward only able to go to one pupil, we wanted to make sure each of them could be recognised & celebrated individually with something they could keep. Thanks to the brilliant support ofGDG Glasgow, Patty O'Callaghan & her team,
These girls went above and beyond, making their club a huge success. Their efforts were rightly recognised at a local authority award ceremony, where they won a well deserved award for their work.
It’s hard to put into words just how incredible these senior dressCode mentors are and the outstanding impact they’ve had - not only in building their school’s dressCode club, but also in being such inspiring role models for younger pupils.
Did you know dressCode club members get early access to all our competitions. Our annual Halloween coding competition is coming soon!

Looking for schools who are interested in bringing some pupils along to a potential dressCode hackathon in Edinburgh or Glasgow. Also, schools interested in bringing along senior mentors for the day to support younger pupils.
