Promising Software Developer of the Year

We are excited to announce our new annual award to recognise the outstanding work of secondary pupils in Scotland completing their Advanced Higher projects: Promising Software Developer of the Year.

This award is open to any secondary pupil who is studying Advanced Higher Computing Science in Scotland. We hope this award will help encourage more pupils, particularly female pupils, to pursue Computing Science at Advanced Higher level in secondary school and also inspire them to consider entering the tech sector after secondary school.

The recipient's name will be featured on the dressCode’s Roll of Honour list on our website. The purpose of the Roll of Honour list is to highlight the incredible talent that exists in schools in Scotland and also allows pupils to reference this achievement on future applications.

Pupils can submit their entry for the award using the form below.
