Sharing resources, encouraging discussions, connecting through events and reporting on news and views from across our diverse community
Safer Internet Day 2026
For Safer Internet Day 2026 (Tuesday 10 February 2026), the theme is “Smart tech, safe choices – Exploring the safe and responsible use of AI”. This theme invites classrooms to consider how artificial intelligence already shapes their digital lives, how it can be used responsibly, and what it means to make safe, informed choices when using smart technology online.
To support teachers in exploring this topic with pupils, we’ve prepared a free resource pack: Smart Tech, Safe Choices. Designed for use in primary classrooms, these materials provide practical, age-appropriate lessons and activities that link computing and digital literacy with Safer Internet Day learning.
Empowering Teachers: Inspiring Young Minds
We are proud to share the latest BCS report that celebrates the incredible achievements of the CAS community and outlines our aims for the future.
Since its inception in 2008, CAS has grown from a grassroots movement into a nationwide force, reaching 90% of UK schools and supporting over 3.5 million pupils. This success is a testament to the dedication of our volunteers, educators, and partners who work tirelessly to ensure every child has access to high-quality computing education.
Our Regional Communities have launched!
We’re excited to announce the launch of our Regional Communities, bringing together computing educators and industry professionals right across the UK.
Whether you’re teaching at primary, secondary or post-16, you can now join your local region to access ready-to-use resources and ideas, take part in events and workshops near you, and ask questions and connect with peers who understand your context.
