Not only is health and well-being an engaging context to bring computing to life for your students, it’s also never been more relevant as we emerge from periods of isolation and pay more attention to personal health. This issue spans articles on teacher and student well-being, to computing projects addressing air pollution and health, to real-life research at the intersection of computing and the healthcare industry.
