Our impact

We are committed to making a positive impact and achieving our mission of enabling all young people to realise their full potential through computing.

We use data to prioritise resources where we can make the biggest difference, and we gather evidence to understand the difference we’re making and inform improvements. What we learn we share with the communities and partners we work with.

Theory of change

Our theory of change describes the difference we aim to make in the world, the actions we take, and our underlying assumptions. It's an important part of our approach to evaluating the impact of our resources and programmes, and informs a shared outcomes framework that we apply across all our products.

What the community says

“Ada Computer Science is an excellent resource to help support teachers and students. The explanations are clear and relevant and the questions help students test their knowledge.” – Computer science teacher

“We see pupils in completely different roles when they are doing these Code Club activities. They enjoy more, and you can see they have skills to do things that we otherwise don’t notice.” – Code Club mentor

“It has changed my outlook on AI, because now I’ve realised how much AI actually needs human intelligence to be able to do anything.” – Student learning with Experience AI
