Lecture by Dr. Bill Mitchell, Director of the BCS Academy
Computing education in schools is in a perilous state, university computing departments are under considerable strain and there is a pressing need for much better integration between the academic and business communities.
The BCS Academy of Computing has been set up in partnership with the Council of Professors and Heads of Computing (CPHC) and the UK Computing Research Committee (UKCRC) to reconnect business with computer science and to address the need for a real computing education in schools. The presentation will talk about the new BCS Academy and how it sees a role for itself in helping to solve these problems.
