# TechFirst in partnership with Ada Computer Science

New content, careers inspiration and challenges

Ada Computer Science is a free platform for computer science learners and their teachers. This session will update you on new developments, features, and future plans for Ada Computer Science.

The session will cover:

* **New topics**: **Artificial Intelligence,** Cybersecurity, quantum computing, engineering biology, and more. These topics are the part of the suite of frontier technology sectors covered by the UK Government TechFirst programme.
* **New age range**: Ada CS now includes resources for learners aged 11–14, we will share our first content available for younger learners
* **Careers inspiration**: new videos showing the range of careers that computer science can lead to
* **Cybersecurity challenge**: a walk-through of our new challenges, which are open until the end of November and are available in two age categories; 11 to 14 and 14 to 19

You’ll leave knowing what’s new on Ada CS, how it can support your learners, and how to take part in the challenge.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://upskilling.stacs.scot/conference26/session-d-workshops/techfirst-in-partnership-with-ada-computer-science.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
