Bell, I (2021) Digital Schoolhouse: An inclusive approach to teaching computing?

Abstract

Now more than ever it is important to reflect on Equality, Diversity and Inclusion and the importance of all young people being offered opportunities to participate in engaging computing activities that inspire them to consider computing as a possible and feasible future career option. Digital Schoolhouse (DSH) offers a wide portfolio of creative resources embedded in collaborative approaches and working with teachers to inspire young people.

This report aimed to explore how those Equality, Diversity and Inclusion principles are viewed by the key recipients of the programme. Key recommendations explore not only how to improve the programme but also the role of the programme among wider educational initiatives and scope for further evaluation on the programme impact on wellbeing.
