The UK has a proud history in the field of Computer Science. The first programmable machine was invented in the UK way back in the 1800's. After the War the Lyon's company became the first company in the World to use a computer commercially, named Leo and developed in Manchester.
As machines become increasingly intelligent and more jobs become displaced, it is critical that all students are equipped for this new 21st century work place.
Since 2009 Computer Science has become more important in UK schools and is now a mandatory subject in state schools.
Despite the importance of Computer Science to both students and the country as a whole, provision of quality Computer Science teaching is inconsistent, due mainly to a shortage of specialist Computer Science teachers.
techTeachersDirect is the brain child of two professional Computer Science teachers, Peter and Alastair, who want to use their many years of teaching experience to provide opportunities for any keen young Computer Scientist to develop their skills and enable them to succeed in their studies.
