Computing at School (CAS) is proudly supported by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT. But what does that really mean for you?
BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT believes that every young person deserves the opportunity to thrive in a digital world. Through Computing at School (CAS) and the wider BCS community we are working to make that vision a reality. Through this connection, we can offer even better support to CAS members, tapping into BCS’s extensive membership network.
What's more, it means that you, as a CAS member, can have your say on what matters. For example, the BCS response to the Department for Education's Curriculum and Assessment Review was shaped by valuable feedback from CAS members like you. Your voice matters and helps drive change!
Who are BCS?
BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT, is the professional body for the people who work in tech. Our mission, set by Royal Charter, is to build a safe and bright digital future for everyone in society.
