Ireland’s first ever Computer Science Week National Conference was held on the 13th of October 2022, gathering school leaders, teachers, guidance counsellors, parents, representatives from industry and all education stakeholders. The event was organised by PDST Technology in Ireland, opened by Minister for Education Norma Foley TD and saw the launch of a new dedicated website for Computer Science for students, parents and schools to learn more about the subject.
