The Royal Society do, at least, appear to have someone on their advisory board who seems to understand the problem.
>From their website: Professor Matthew Harrison, Director of Education at The Royal Academy of Engineering said: “Young people have huge appetites for the computing devices they use outside of school. Yet ICT and Computer Science in school seem to turn these young people off. We need school curricula to engage them better if the next generation are to engineer technology and not just consume it”. (As far as I know, Matthew Harrison is no relation) :-) Mark Harrison
