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.

Happy International Women's Day. It's a stark reminder that there's still so much work to do.

* Persistent Gender Gap: In Scotland, Computing Science at school level still has the largest gender gap compared to any other traditional STEM subject, and this has persisted for over a decade.
