‘There are a significant number of primary aged children who don’t have access to the technology they need to study properly.
Some pupils sharing one laptop between four other members of their family making learning from home really challenging.
We wanted to ensure that as many young people as possible in our community have access to the tools they need to learn effectively from home during the 2021 lockdown’
The unit is asking for donations to enhance the scheme.

Great night!

When Nick Hewer from Alan Sugar’s Apprentice pops in for a chat.

We’re working with David Hall’s CloudyIT, Bucks Skills Hub and Study Higher on a Schools Outreach project called App-prentice Challenge. The project will take place in three Bucks schools in June. We hope this will help to encourage more school pupils to develop their app building skills and to think and work in a more enterprising way.

Nick popped in for some filming and to show his support for the project.

He was very generous with his time, speaking to staff and students.

He’ll be joining us again on 15 June for the Buckingham Literary Festival. His book is on sale now in Alison Cameron’s University of Buckingham Bookshop.

Congratulations to all the 2019 graduates!
