We love Data, but the team at Data Education in Schools also love Computing Science!
Here are some resources for teaching Computing Science, to support industry visitors coming to your school and to encourage people to train as a CS teacher.
Teach Computing Science
Several of our team were involved in working with Education Scotland to develop the revised Computing Science experiences and outcomes and benchmarks. After these were launched, we wrote a guide on Teaching CS for Primary Teachers to support educators in teaching this new national curriculum.

Scottish Teachers Advancing Computing Science
Our guides were written a while ago, but since that time, Scottish Teachers Advancing Computing Science (STACS) has been established to develop teaching materials to support CS in Primary and Secondary. We recommend you join STACS free and check out their wonderful resources.
Support for Industry visitors
The team created a set of video guides for Industry people visiting schools as speakers, helpers or STEM Ambassadors.
