I Belong: Encouraging girls into computer science

Computer science is the fastest-growing STEM subject, and yet, despite its popularity, girls are consistently outnumbered by boys, making up just 1 in 5 entries at GCSE. The I Belong programme is a new, evidenced-informed programme run by the National Centre for Computing Education that aims to change that.

As a Computing Ambassador, you can help us tackle the gender imbalance in computer science and inspire more girls to choose programming, coding, engineering and other fulfilling tech careers.
